This is an excellent introduction to the Gnostics and Gnosticism. A brief Prologue on the discovery of the Nag Hammadi codices is followed by the historical relationship between Early Christianity and Gnosticism, and then concise examinations of Gnostic beliefs and myths, teachers and traditions, the various Gnostic religions and the Gnostic texts. The final chapter looks at the legacy of Gnosticism – not just the Cathars of the 12th- to 13th-century Languedoc, but right up to date with 19th-century Occultism, the novels of Philip K Dick and the Matrix films.
