Against the Protestant Gnostics by Philip J. Lee Average Rating: "Canadian Presbyterian pastor Phillip. J. Lee uses the ancient heresy of Gnosticism as an archetype by which to gage contemporary strands of Protestantism in North America. Contrasts are drawn between "Gnostic" and "Orthodox" trends in contemporary Christianity with the Orthodox end of the spectrum made to look considerably more true and desirable than the Gnostic. ..."
The Gospel of Philip: Annotated & Explained (Skylight Illuminations) by Andrew Phillip Smith The Gospel of Philip is one of the most exciting and accessible of the Gnostic texts found at Nag Hammadi in Egypt in 1945. The source of Dan Brown's intriguing speculations about Mary Magdalene in his best-selling novel The Da Vinci Code, the Gospel of Philip draws on ancient imagery--the natural world, the relationships between women, men and family, the ancient distinctions between lord and servants, free people and slaves, and pagans, Jews and Christians--to offer us insight into the spiritual interpretation of scripture that is at the foundation of Christianity. ...
The Yellow Book: Gnosis, the Divine Mother Kundalini and Jinn Science (Timeless Gnostic Wisdom Series) by Samael Aun Weor Average Rating: "The Yellow Book is for those who have a desire to taste the things not belonging to this 3 dimensional world,
...to know the higher worlds.
It is a small book condensed with Buddhism, Hinduism, ancient Egyptian and Christic wisdom.
A true synthesis of Esoteric-Gnostic Yoga.
This book is extremely important because in it is the first ever public revealing of how to engender superior children WITHOUT reaching the orgasm (the way which was taught in early Lemuria and Atlantis before the fall) as well as the complete explanation of sexual transmutation for single people. ..."
Lost Books of the Bible For Dummies (For Dummies (Religion & Spirituality)) by Daniel L. Smith-Christopher A one-stop guide to once-hidden works that add a new dimension to bible teachings
Most people have heard about the discovery of strange ancient religious writings that are not part the Hebrew Bible or the New Testament, such as the Gnostic Gospels. Lost Books of the Bible For Dummies offers new insight and a fresh perspective on long-lost works that may have once been in the running for biblical inclusion, but didn't make the final cut. ...
Gnostic Secrets of the Naassenes: The Initiatory Teachings of the Last Supper by Mark H. Gaffney Average Rating: "What was it about Gnostic Christian sects which so obsessed the early church fathers? That a three hundred year reign of persecution eventually drove the Gnostics out of existence is beyond doubt. The sentiments of the early fathers are recorded in such voluminous tracts as the ten-volume "Refutation of all Heresies" by Bishop Hippolytus. ..."
The Gnostic Jung by C. G. Jung Average Rating: "For anyone wanting to know Carl Jung's views on Gnosticism, this is the definitive work. Segal does an excellent job of describing Carl Jung's view of Gnosticism and the contrast with Jung's psychology. The explanation is very detailed, yet very clear and easy to understand.
Jung's Seven Sermons to the Dead are included, along with excerpts from Jung's other relevant works. ..."
The Secret Books of the Egyptian Gnostics: An Introduction to the Gnostic Coptic Manuscripts Discovered at Chenoboskion by Jean Doresse Average Rating: "Jean Doresse's book was originally published in 1958 as the first authoritative description of the now famous cache of Egyptian Gnostic writings known as the Nag-Hammadi Library or, as Doresse calls it, the Chenoboskion Library. Despite the forty plus years since publication, a more readable and thorough introduction to the material is not to be found.Until the Nag-Hammadi discovery, the Gnostics were thought to be no more than a heretical splinter group of early Christianity with particularly bizarre cosmologies and licentious sexual practices. ..."
The Johannine Gospel in Gnostic Exegesis (Monograph Series (Society of Biblical Literature)) by Elaine, H. Pagels Average Rating: "Much like Pagel's work on Paul, this text explores Gnostic hermeneutics in action. She starts with plausible hermeneutic principles derived from a good understanding of the writings of the heresy hunters and the actual Gnostic texts and teachings, and then applies such principles when reading the New Testament Gospel of John.
This sort of work helps to demonstrate the sort of approach certain Gnostics may have used, and helps those of us who are interested in a Gnostic Path today, to work out our own hermeneutics, to flesh out the path in depth, developing our own insights and tweaking the principles accordingly. ..."
