Gnostic religion is the expression of a religious worldview which
is dominated by the concept of Gnosis, an esoteric knowledge of God
and the human being which grants salvation to those who possess it.
Roelof van den Broek presents here a fresh approach to the gnostic
current of Late Antiquity within its historical and religious
context, based on sources in Greek, Latin and Coptic, including
discussions of the individual works of preserved gnostic
literature. Van den Broek explores the various gnostic
interpretations of the Christian faith that were current in the
second and third centuries, whilst showing that despite its
influence on early Christianity, gnostic religion was not a
typically Christian phenomenon. This book will be of interest to
theologians, historians of religion, students and scholars of the
history of Late Antiquity and early Christianity, as well as
specialists in ancient gnostic and hermetic traditions.
