    Praise

    “Using the few sources available to him with penetrating insight, Jonas reconstructed the Gnostic worldview … The Gnostic Religion remains, even today, the classic introduction” – Elaine Pagels, author of The Origin of Satan

    “    A fascinating exposition with copious quotations, of what is known of Gnosticism … Dr. Jonas writes with authority, passion, and precision about this long-forgotten religion” – The New Yorker
