Gnosis and Hermeticism, Dec 12 2009
By javafusion - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Gnosis and Hermeticism from Antiquity to Modern Times (Paperback)
This collection presents in a clear and concise way a series of critical distinctions that collectively map the field: Hermetism, Gnosticism, gnosis, Manichaeism, Hermeticism, Catharism, Esotericism, Romanticism, and the New Age. These often confused and misperceived phenomena have been delineated crisply, in a way that permits this collection to serve nicely as a general introduction to the field. This book articulates a new standard of precision and clarity. - Dan Merkur
