✦ The Companion Letter

A quiet letter from the library

One passage from the lost gospels — verbatim, credited to its manuscript and translator — with a plain-English companion note, and library news only when there is real news. That's the whole letter.

What's in the letter

One letter, Sunday mornings, under five minutes to read:

  • The Passage — one passage worth sitting with, from the Gospel of Thomas, Mary, Judas, or anywhere on the shelf — always the real text with its citation, never a paraphrase.
  • In plain words — a short companion note on what the passage meant in its world, clearly labeled commentary, never passed off as scripture.
  • From the wider world — one or two pieces of good news from the living gnostic world: a manuscript digitized, an exhibition opened, a scholarly find, a community milestone — always sourced, never doom.
  • New on the shelf — what joined the library or the app that week. No news means the section simply isn't there; the letter never pads.
