The Gnostics by Tobias Churton

ryberst's review against another edition

4.0

This is the best and most basic introduction I have yet found. While other introductions have given a more comprehensive view from one perspective or another, Churton offers the most relevant to non-scholar/non-practitioner. It is accessible, comprehensive, entertaining and original. It is not burdened with an overabundance of academic scholarship, historical research, or philosophical analysis. Rather it provides a very clear picture of the Gnostic religion.
