The Nag Hammadi library discovered in 1945 has provided a number of alternative Christian texts. \xa0 They were not included in the Bible.\xa0Dr. Celene Lillie discusses three of these texts in her book, The Rape of Eve: \xa0The Transformation of Roman ideology in Three Early Christian Retellings of Genesis. In each of these texts, \u201cOn the Origin of the World,\u201d \u201cThe Reality of the Rulers,\u201d and \u201cThe Secret Revelation of John,\u201d Eve is portrayed as having been humiliated by the cosmic powers but experiences restoration. \xa0 \xa0They have been dismissed by many orthodox Christians as Gnostic or even heresy. \xa0 \xa0\nNew scholarship has discovered that these texts are quite complex, even playful, as they provide alternative myths to the founding myths of Rome. \xa0She sees these Nag Hammadi stories are myths of resistance to Roman imperial power and to Rome\u2019s culture of rape and domination. \xa0 \xa0\xa0\nDr. Lillie is the director of the Tanho Center in Longmont, Colorado. \xa0The Tanho Center is dedicated to the exploration of the many discoveries of texts from the earliest Christ movements. The Tanhoe Center incorporates recently discovered texts into contemporary practices. \xa0Dr. Lillie was the Director of Translations for A New New Testament: \xa0A Bible for the 21st Century Combining Traditional and Newly Discovered Texts and the coauthor of The Thunder: Perfect Mind: \xa0A New Translation and Introduction.
