"Gnosticism: New Light on the Ancient Tradition of Inner Knowing" by Stephan A. Hoeller

book review by Riley Burnham 9/2/2025

really good(!), i quite enjoyed this book

my first real foray into Gnosticism by name, so lots of material to be introduced to — HUGE grains of salt help here, as there are some claims & concepts that i need a little more fleshing out on

nifty was learning the Mandeans, to which i already own the Ginza Rabba, were apparently a gnostic group, so revisiting that book was worthwhile

ultimately, just functioned like a supplement to the greater movement, one i’m at least curious of
