Title: a perfect introduction
Review: This book simplifies a very complicated subject. I easily read it in one sitting, and I am a slow reader. This is an excellent introduction to gnosticism and early Christianities, and is a perfect example of what "introduction" means.It does not go into great detail, but this is the perfect book if you have not read anything about gnosticism. It covers quite a wide range of early religious groups, so you can pick the ones you might be really interested in. There are more in depth books out there, which take longer to read, but this should be your first venture into Gnosticism.there is a list of recommended readings that will point you in the right direction. I highly recommend "Lost Christianities" by Bart D. Erhman.
