Hans Jonas, "The Gnostic Religion: The Message of the Alien God and the Beginnings of Christianity, 3rd Edition"
English | ISBN: 0807058017 | 2001 | EPUB | 396 pages | 722 KB



The Gnostic Religion was the 1st decent introduction to gnosticism for the modern world & is still of value today. It includes both heresiological & original texts-Nag Hammadi only uncovered later. It holds useful material on Simon Magus, the Hermetic Poimandres (shown here to be equally a gnostic document), the Valentinians, Mandaeans, Manichaeans & the "Hymn of the Pearl". The existentialist bent-Jonas a student of Martin Heidegger-makes an interesting contrast to Pagels more orthodox view of gnostic religion as theistic. This volume & the Nag Hammadi library will provide good coverage of the diverse teachings of gnostic & related movements.
