Based on hitherto unknown and untranslated primary sources, this is the first ever English language book to reveal, in a comprehensive manner, the evolution of the first Gnostic Church in modern times; including its doctrinal statements, organisational structures, sacramental/initiatic systems and liturgical traditions. Divided into four large parts reflecting the major eras of the Church, considerable detail is provided on each era, including never before published translations of many historically important documents. The second edition has added updated information on the evolution of the Church related to recent archival findings and a whole new Mass Liturgy.
