Title: A Great Introduction
Product review: This is a great place to begin for the seeker who wishes to learn about the path of Gnosticism. The problem is that Gnosticism is largely an umbrella term for a wide body of sometimes conflicting beliefs and traditions, which pre-date even Christianity. Much of the books available, while scholarly, are often long-winded and confusing. Perhaps this is due to the nature of the Gnostic path itself, being heavily based on myth and symbol, unique to each individual. Dr. Stephan A. Hoeller, whose contributions to the 20th century Gnostic revival are immeasurable, has done a fine job of assembling some of the basic tenets, influences, and history of Gnosticism, in this introductory book.
