Gnostic Truth and Christian Heresy: A Study in the History of Gnosticism

Rating:
Summary: Opium for the masses
Review: This book is an attempt to distort the morals of catholic church. The name "Gnosticism" in this book covers many different phenomena.Not mentioned, Gnos is the greek word for knowledge, which in my opinion, resembles the tree of knowledge. The message of gnosticism in this book is ,in my opinion, "A neo-pagan effort to distract society away from the true God, and focus on polytheism and its discontents". Since the book openly denies or rejects the hypostatic union(trinity), gnosticism and its forms are sins of religion and truth. To the extent that the author is ignorant about the true instruction of faith, (given by Jesus Christ), or presenting its teaching falsely, the author, and neo-gnostic fallowers must be said to conceal rather than reveal the true nature of God and religion.
