Greece And The Gnostics

By G.R.S. Mead

Book Overview

""Greece and the Gnostics"" is a book written by G.R.S. Mead that explores the connections between ancient Greek philosophy and Gnostic thought. Mead argues that the Gnostic movement, which emerged in the early Christian era, was heavily influenced by the teachings of Greek philosophers such as Plato and Pythagoras. The book examines the similarities and differences between these two philosophical traditions, and how they shaped the development of Western spirituality. Mead also explores the role of Gnosticism in the early Christian church, and its eventual suppression by orthodox Christianity. Overall, ""Greece and the Gnostics"" provides a fascinating look at the intersection of ancient Greek philosophy and early Christian spirituality.THIS 28 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Fragments of a Faith Forgotten, by G.
