This book investigates the problem of esoteric traditions in early
Christianity, their origin and their transformation in Patristic
hermeneutics, in the West as well as in the East. It argues that
these traditions eventually formed the basis of nascent Christian
mysticism in Late Antiquity. These esoteric traditions do not
reflect the influence of Greek Mystery religions, as has often been
claimed, but rather seem to stem from the Jewish background of
Christianity. They were adopted by various Gnostic teachings, a
fact which helps explaining their eventual disappearance from
Patristic literature. The eleven chapters study each a different
aspect of the problem, including the questions of Gnostic and
Manichaean esotericism. This book will be of interest to all
students of religious history in Late Antiquity. Revised and
extended paperback edition. Originally published in 1996. Please
