"Bentley Layton's translation and annotation of the Gnostic scriptures (which includes not only the Nag Hammadi texts, but related ones from other sources as well) has my vote as the single best volume for the lay reader. Layton's lucid translations are supplemented with very helpful introductions, background details, explanatory annotations, and maps. Layton is of no less scholarly standing than other translators, but he has brought the material to life better than most."Layton, Bentley is the author of 'Gnostic Scriptures A New Translation With Annotations and Introductions', published 1995 under ISBN 9780385478434 and ISBN 0385478437.
