Description: Book Details Title: The Gnostics And Their Remains: Ancient and Medieval Author: Charles William King Format: Paperback Pages: 298 Condition: Brand NewDescriptionThe Gnostics and their Remains, by English lapidarist, classicist, and writer Charles William King, was originally published in 1887. This work by King, is an attempt to collate a picture of gnosticism from the known sources of the time: early Christian writers, the Pistis Sophia, and the jumble of images and cryptic inscriptions on Roman-era gems and amulets. Despite the patchy sources, King managed to assemble a picture of the Gnostics which is still cited today as authoritative. Showing that rather than being one monolithic group, the Gnostics had diverse beliefs. Some thought Jesus was a man, others believed he was a god, and some believed that he became a god after he was baptized. Some believed in Good and Evil, others were non-dualistic. The vast majority had widely-varying complex system of mediators between the ultimate deity and humanity. Which, prima facie, looks polytheistic, but was in fact an attempt to solve the problem of how a perfect God could create an imperfect world. Many of these intermediary Aeons, later becoming the demons and angels of Medieval and Renaissance magic.Free Shipping USA & No Customs SHIPS SAME BUSINESS DAY BEFORE 12PM EST ESTIMATED SHIPPING TIMES AND SERVICES USA: USPS Economy (2-9 business days) Canada: Economy (2-9 business days)Premium Packaging Our cardboard mailers assure that your order is packed to survive the sometimes perilous journey to your mailbox. 30-Day Returns Returns must be in exact same condition and packaging as sold.
