Rethinking "Gnosticism": An Argument for Dismantling a Dubious Category Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)After reading one book which specifically mentions and disagrees with Michael Allen Williams' position, ("No Longer Jews: The Search for Gnostic Origins" by Smith), I figured that "Rethinking 'Gnosticism'" would be an important read.

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Christian Jacq is not well-known by American readers, but his series of books on Egypt are wonderful "reads", and his life-long study as an Eygptologist gives him great credibility.

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The reader is alerted in the Preface that this book is a collection of past essays by the author, written for various conferences and collections.
