Publisher's Synopsis
""An Introduction to the Apostolic Gnosis"" is a book written by Thomas Simcox Lea that serves as a comprehensive guide to the early Christian movement known as Gnosticism. The book provides an in-depth exploration of the beliefs, practices, and history of the Apostolic Gnosis, including its origins in the teachings of Jesus Christ and the apostles, its development in the first few centuries of Christianity, and its eventual decline and suppression by the mainstream church. Lea draws on a wide range of primary and secondary sources to present a clear and accessible overview of this fascinating and often misunderstood religious tradition. The book is suitable for both scholars and general readers who are interested in learning more about Gnosticism and its place in the history of Christianity.THIS 24 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Materials for the Study of the Apostolic Gnosis, by Thomas Simcox Lea.
