Description: Gnosis And Literature, Arthur Versluis, Gnosticism, Christian Theosophy, Signed Copy Few books embrace the range of this book by Arthur Versluis: Gnosis and Literature. From Gnostic Sects of antiquity through medieval Christian authors like Dante and Meister Eckhart through little known heretical sects of 17th and 18th century Europe to a survey of contemporary literature. This book is the first to trace Gnosticism and gnosis throughout European and American literature and cultural history. What you find in this book is not only an excursion through literature labeled gnostic, for one reason or another, but an examination of the very premises of art literature, and knowing. For to examine Gnosticism and gnosis in literature is to consider far more than a long, forgotten heretical movement in antiquity. To look at Gnosticism is to uncover fundamental ways of looking at the world and at the purpose of human life There are untold riches in this wilderness of religious literature, cosmology and metaphysics, and much to be learned from recognizing where these things are in modern literature.
