This introduction to Gnosis by Christoph Markschies combines great
clarity with immense learning.In his Introduction Markschies
defines the term Gnosis and its relationship to 'Gnosticism',
indicating why Gnosis is preferable and sketches out the main
problems. He then treats the sources, both those in the church
fathers and heresiologists, and the more recent Nag Hammadi finds.
He 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.There is a useful chronological table and an excellent
select bibliography.
