The Connection Between the Templars and Gnosticism

By Hargrave Jennings

Book Overview

The Connection Between The Templars And Gnosticism is a non-fiction book written by Hargrave Jennings. The book explores the links between the Knights Templar, a medieval Christian military order, and Gnosticism, a religious movement that emerged in the early Christian era. The author delves into the history of the Knights Templar, tracing their origins and rise to power, as well as their eventual downfall and persecution by the Catholic Church. He also examines the tenets of Gnosticism, including its beliefs about the nature of God, the universe, and the human soul. Through extensive research and analysis, Jennings uncovers a number of intriguing connections between the two seemingly disparate groups. He suggests that the Templars may have been influenced by Gnostic teachings, and that they may have even practiced some form of Gnosticism themselves. The book is well-researched and thought-provoking, offering a unique perspective on two important historical movements. It is recommended for readers interested in the history of religion, the Knights Templar, and the mysteries of the ancient world.THIS 22 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Rosicrucians: Their Rites and Mysteries, by Hargrave Jennings.
