By W. K. Fleming

Book Overview

The Montanists, The Gnostics, And The Alexandrines is a book written by W.K. Fleming. The book explores the history of three early Christian groups: the Montanists, the Gnostics, and the Alexandrines. The author delves into the beliefs and practices of each group, their origins, and their impact on early Christianity. The Montanists were a group that emerged in the second century and believed in the imminent return of Christ and the importance of prophecy. The Gnostics were a diverse group with various beliefs, but generally held that knowledge of the divine was essential for salvation. The Alexandrines were a group of theologians and scholars based in Alexandria who made significant contributions to the development of Christian doctrine. The book provides a comprehensive overview of these groups and their influence on the early Christian church. It is a valuable resource for scholars and anyone interested in the history of Christianity.THIS 20 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Mysticism in Christianity, by W. K. Fleming.
