The Gnosis Of the Light: A Translation of the Untitled Apocalypse Contained in the Codex Brucianus

Berwick, Maine: Ibis Press, 2006. 1st Edition. Soft cover. Near Fine. Item #003001

Paperback. xxiii, 80 p.p. Includes suggested reading. Front cover curling, light bumping to corners, else fine. Text is clean. Gnositicism as a term has been used to encompass heretical faiths of early Christianity, as well as most recently to describe a New Age belief in gnosis, or direct contact with the ineffable. Much of the vagueness surrounding the term stems from the dearth of original material because of the religious persecution and the Gnostic sects' own inherent elitism. The Gnosis of the Light is one of those precious few original texts still extant today. It is a truly remarkable example of Gnostic theologians' speculative thought about the structure, history, and meaning of the ultimate heaven, and about the nature of God.
