Synopsis

"The Gnostics" brilliantly illuminates the mystical movement that teaches knowledge of God rather than unquestioning faith. In today's multicultural world, the Gnostic doctrine of personal over organised religion is growing hugely in influence. This book helps you: discover the myths and practices of this ancient movement; follow the path of Gnosticism through the triumphs and tragedies of the Cathars, the Manichaeans and, in today's Iraq, the Mandaeans; and, witness the dramatic discoveries of the Gnostic gospels - including the Gospel of Judas - lost for fifteen centuries.
