Description

Gnosis or Ancient Wisdom in the Christian Scriptures or the Wisdom in a Mystery is a book written by William Kingsland. It explores the concept of gnosis, which refers to the knowledge of spiritual mysteries and insights that can only be gained through personal experience and intuition. The book examines the presence of gnosis in the Christian scriptures, particularly in the teachings of Jesus and the early Christian mystics. Kingsland argues that the true essence of Christianity is not found in its dogma and doctrine, but in the deeper spiritual truths that can only be accessed through gnosis. He also discusses the relationship between gnosis and other ancient wisdom traditions, such as the teachings of the Egyptian and Greek mystery schools. Overall, Gnosis or Ancient Wisdom in the Christian Scriptures or the Wisdom in a Mystery offers a thought-provoking exploration of the spiritual dimensions of Christianity and the importance of gnosis in unlocking its deeper truths.This book is the last work of William Kingsland and was completed shortly before his death. ��In this work Kingsland shows how the fundamental teachings given to the world at the beginning of the Christian ere were derived from the Gnosis or Ancient Wisdom, but in time have become so perverted that the modern interpretation of Christianity represents merely their debased survival.�� Contents: Religion and Religions; The Bible; The Ancient Wisdom or Gnosis; The Genesis Narrative; The New Testament Scriptures, The Gospels; The New Testament Scriptures, Paul's Epistles; Practical Religion; Bibliography.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
