Cloth over Boards. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fair. This book, "Gnosis: A Selection Of Gnostic Texts," delves into the complex religious and philosophical movement known as Gnosticism, which flourished in the Greco-Roman world during the early Christian era, particularly in the 2nd century. Gnosticism is characterized by the belief that human beings possess a divine spark within themselves, trapped in a material world created by an inferior deity, often referred to as the demiurge. Salvation, in this context, is achieved not through faith or repentance, but through direct personal knowledge (gnosis) of the supreme divinity and one's own divine identity, often attained through mystical or esoteric insight. The book explores the diverse ideas within Gnosticism, including its dualistic worldview where the material body is seen as flawed and the spirit as divine, and how these beliefs contrasted with nascent orthodox Christian teachings. --- The author, Werner Foerster (1897-1975), was a German scholar and Professor of New Testament at the University of Munster. He was a theologian who authored several books, including "Neutestamentliche Zeitgeschichte" (History of New Testament Times) and "From the Exile to Christ." His work on Gnosis is considered a significant contribution to the study of these ancient texts. --- "Gnosis: A Selection Of Gnostic Texts" holds considerable historical and literary significance by making these often esoteric and complex texts accessible. Gnostic writings, such as those found in the Nag Hammadi library, reveal a diverse and complex early Christian landscape, offering alternative narratives and teachings that were largely suppressed by the early Church. For collectors, this book is interesting due to its focus on a movement that profoundly influenced early religious thought and continues to resonate in modern spiritual and philosophical discussions. The renewed interest in Gnosticism, particularly after the 20th-century discoveries of texts like those in the Nag Hammadi library, underscores the enduring relevance and scholarly value of such a collection. --- CONDITION: This book is in very good condition.
