In 1945, a collection of thirteen papyrus codices containing some fifty

previously unknown Christian texts was discovered in Upper Egypt near

the modern village of Nag Hammadi. These fourth-century Coptic texts,

originally written in Greek, have allowed us to see the great diversity

that characterized early Christianity during the first centuries of the

common era. Now, seventy years later, it seemed helpful to look back and

evaluate what we have learned from the Nag Hammadi texts in the

framework of an international colloquium. The objective was to observe

progress and changes in scholarship and to consider new avenues for

research. The colloquium gathered some thirty international scholars,

whose contributions take stock of previous research, recent trends and

advances in scholarship. These include a critique of received concepts

(such as "Gnosticism" and "Docetism"), contribution of Nag Hammadi texts

to our understanding of Middle- and Neoplatonism, archaeology of

Egyptian monasticism, and reception of these texts in fourth-century

Egypt as well as in contemporary Western culture.
