Gnosticism was a religious movement that emerged in the early Christian era and was considered a heresy by the mainstream church. It was characterized by the belief in the knowledge (gnosis) of the divine and a dualism that separated the physical world from the spiritual world. Gnostics believed that the physical world was created by an evil deity and that only through acquiring secret knowledge could one achieve salvation and return to the true divine realm. This belief was in direct contrast to the orthodox Christian belief in the incarnation of Jesus and the redemption of the physical world through his death and resurrection. Despite being widely discredited by the mainstream church, gnosticism persisted in various forms throughout the early centuries of Christianity and continues to influence spiritual and philosophical thought to this day. This books summarizes 36 gnostic gospels and texts. It touches upon early fathers of gnosticism and elaborates on why these teachings are a Christian heresy to give more understanding of this movement and various beliefs revolving around Jesus Christ.
