Customer Reviews
If you have an open mind...
...you will benefit from this "forbidden fruit." If you are aware that so much of what passes for truth is in fact so much wishful thinking, conditioning, and convenience, then you will enjoy this history. Read beyond the initial discussion of Gnostic metaphysics, and by book's end you may well have an enhanced perspective of some of the greatest questions of all.
Elegant, passionate outrage!
An extended meditation on the lives, beliefs and practices of the ancient christian heretics, written with elegance and outrage. Highly recommended!
Good book!
This is an excellent essay written with a somewhat literary style. The information it offers is fascinating, provided one has an open mind. I enjoyed reading it and have reread it several times over the past few years.
