Excerpt from Histoire Critique du Gnosticisme, Et de Son Influence sur les Sectes Religieuses Et Philosophiques des Six Premiers Si�cles de l'�re Chr�tienne, Vol. 2: Ouvrage Couronn� par l'Acad�mie Royale des Inscriptions Et Belles-Lettres

Le syst�me �gyptien loin de se rattacher au f�tichisme de quelques populations barbares de l'afrique est au contraire l'une des plus belles branches de l'antique th�osophie de l'asie, dont nous voyons deux autres rameaux dans les sp�culations des Indous et des Perses. C'est par ce caract�re essentiel qu'il se recommandait � l'attention des th�osophes du gnosticisme qui se sont impos� la t�che de joindre aux croyances chr�tiennes tout ce que la sagesse ancienne avait produit de plus profond.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the different systems of Gnosticism, a significant movement within early Christianity. Scholars have long been fascinated by Gnosticism's synthesis of Christianity, Judaism, Hellenistic philosophy, and Eastern religious thought. The book examines how Gnostics adapted and reinterpreted these traditions to craft their own unique beliefs about the nature and origin of God, the universe, and humanity's place within it. The author argues that Gnostics shared many key tenets with other early Christian groups, but their distinctive emphasis on spiritual self-knowledge and their belief in a hidden God who could only be known through direct revelation set them apart as a unique and influential current within early Christianity. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780259465621_0
