Andrew Phillip Smith

I am the author of several books and articles on Gnosticism, early Christianity and esotericism. My books include John the Baptist and the Last Gnostics, Lost Teachings of the Cathars, Secret History of the Gnostics, A Dictionary of Gnosticism, The Lost Sayings of Jesus: Annotated & Explained, Gnostic Writings on the Soul: Annotated & Explained, and The Gospel of Philip: Annotated & Explained. I’m also editor of The Gnostic: A Journal of Gnosticism, Western Esotericism and Spirituality.

My books combine accurate and in-depth research with a sympathy for Gnosticism and spirituality.
