Synopsis: |
The book is unique in its scope and in the combination of a sympathetic approach to the Gnostics with accurate scholarship and clear explanation of the issues * Recent introductions to Gnosticism have either concentrated on the Nag Hammadi texts or have defined the subject in loose terms, whereas Andrew Phillip Smith provides a much larger selection of texts and a much more comprehensive overview and understanding of the subject. The book covers: - The beliefs and spiritual practices of the ancient Gnostics - The current revival of Gnosticism and the influence of the Gnostics on contemporary writers - The dramatic discoveries of the Gnostic gospels, including the Gospel of Judas - lost for fifteen centuries. |
