Thank you for your interest! We look forward to exploring this book with you.
A work of luminous scholarship and wide popular appeal
We will explore "The Gnostic Gospels," a book that illuminates the world of the first Christians and examines the different ways in which Gnostics (from the Greek "gnosis" meaning Knowledge, especially self-knowledge based on personal experience or perception of the divine) and Orthodox Christians constructed God, Christ, and the Church. Did Jesus literally rise from the dead? Was there only one God, and could he be both Father and Mother? Whose version of Christianity came down to us today and why did it prevail? And finally, how much does Unity thinking resemble the beliefs of some of the early Gnostics and Orthodox Christians? Copies of the book available in the bookstore.
