Gnosis or Ancient Wisdom in the Christian Scriptures or the Wisdom in a Mystery is a book written by William Kingsland. The book explores the concept of Gnosis, which refers to the knowledge of spiritual mysteries and insights into the nature of reality. Kingsland argues that Gnosis is present in the Christian scriptures and can be accessed through a deeper understanding of the symbolism and allegory used in the Bible. The book delves into the teachings of Jesus and the early Christian Gnostics, who believed that salvation came from knowledge of the divine rather than adherence to strict religious doctrine. Kingsland also examines the influence of ancient wisdom traditions such as Hermeticism and Neoplatonism on Christian Gnosticism. Throughout the book, Kingsland emphasizes the importance of developing a personal spiritual practice and cultivating inner wisdom. He encourages readers to look beyond the surface-level interpretation of scripture and seek a deeper understanding of the spiritual truths contained within. Overall, Gnosis or Ancient Wisdom in the Christian Scriptures or the Wisdom in a Mystery is a thought-provoking exploration of the intersection between Christianity and Gnosticism, offering insights into the nature of spiritual knowledge and the path to enlightenment.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.
