Requirements: .ePUB, .MOBI/.AZW reader, 1.27 MB
Overview: The Gnostic Religion was the 1st decent introduction to gnosticism for the modern world & is still of value today.
It includes both heresiological & original texts Nag Hammadi only uncovered later. It holds useful material on Simon Magus, the Hermetic Poimandres (shown here to be equally a gnostic document), the Valentinians, Mandaeans, Manichaeans & the “Hymn of the Pearl”. The existentialist bent Jonas a student of Martin Heidegger makes an interesting contrast to Pagel’s more orthodox view of gnostic religion as theistic.
This volume & the Nag Hammadi library will provide good coverage of the diverse teachings of gnostic & related movements.
