Defining the term Gnosis and its relationship to Gnosticism, this
book indicates why Gnosis may be preferable and sketches out the
main problems. It then treats the sources, both those in the church
fathers and heresiologists, and the more recent Nag Hammadi finds.
It goes on to discuss early forms of Gnosis in antiquity, Jewish
and Christian (New Testament) and the early Gnostics; the main
representatives of Gnosis, especially Valentinus and Marcion;
Manichaeism as the culmination and end-point of Gnosis; ancient
communities of Gnostics; and finally Gnosis in antiquity and the
present.
