The Genesis Narrative In Gnosticism

By William Kingsland

Book Overview

The book ""The Genesis Narrative In Gnosticism"" by William Kingsland delves into the Gnostic interpretation of the biblical book of Genesis. The author explores the esoteric teachings of Gnosticism and how they relate to the creation story in Genesis. Kingsland examines the Gnostic belief that the material world is an illusion and that true reality lies beyond the physical realm.
