This Volume Heresy and Christian Doctrine, now introduced for the first time to theE ngH sh public, is the third in a consecutive series, intended to present a complete picture, from the Author spoint of view, of the spiritual life and history of the Church during the first three centuries of the Christian era. The two previous volumes Early Years of Christianity and Martyrs and Apologists delineated chiefly the extensive growth of the Church and its conflicts with enemies without. The present volume treats rather of its intensive development and the history of its doctrines. The concluding volume of the series will appear simultaneously in English and in French. The recent pressure of political, in addition to pastoral duties, has prevented Dr. Pressense, as yet, from arranging his accumulated materials for this work. He has, however, engaged to prepare it for publication with the least possible delay. Annie Harwood. Great Shelford, Cambridge, December jofh, i8 j2.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the rise of Gnosticism, a prominent spiritual movement that emerged alongside early Christianity, presenting a unique and fascinating perspective on the historical, cultural, and religious landscape of that era. The author meticulously examines the Gnostic worldview, tracing its origins, exploring its diverse schools of thought, and uncovering its profound influence on the development of Christian doctrine. Through a comprehensive analysis of the Gnostic texts, the book delves into the movement's complex cosmology, its conceptions of the divine, and its intricate interplay with both Pagan and Jewish traditions.
