About This Book
gnosticismtheologyhistoryphilosophy
Was the Apostle Paul actually the 'greatest of all Gnostics'? Richard Reitzenstein’s landmark study strips away centuries of tradition to reveal how early Christianity emerged from a radical fusion of Iranian myths, Egyptian mysteries, and Greek philosophy. Readers will discover the hidden 'mystery language' of the New Testament and the ecstatic rituals that transformed the human soul into a divine 'spiritual body.'
