\"Michael Williams presents the first treatment of gnosticism in book form that endeavors, and succeeds, to get out of beaten tracks by questioning the very definition and description of this phenomenon. He conducts a detailed analysis of the clichés that have been in circulation for decades and shows convincingly how they have contributed to a distorted and biased approach to the sources. This book will be epoch-making for the field of gnostic studies and should attract a very large reading audience.\"-Paul-Hubert Poirier, Université Laval | Gnosticism\ by B5293260-4763-4F15-9B36-41462587229B, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
