"' ... All investigations of detail over the last half century have proved divergent rather than convergent, and leave us with a portrait of Gnosticism in which the absence of a unifying character seems to be the salient feature' - Hans Jonas, Preface, 1958. No modern writer that I am aware of has brought life to Gnosticism as Jonas has. While in no way neglecting historical or theological issues, Jonas didn't get bogged down in them: he insisted on revealing the existential import of Gnosticism. Indeed, at the end of this book he explores the commonalities of ancient Gnosticism and Heidegger's existentialism. What does it mean to feel one is in a cosmos in which God is alien or absent? Jonas provides a broad sweep of the conditions at the time Gnosticism developed at the beginning of the Christian era. His writing is that of a scholar but not targetted only to scholars ... He writes: ' ... Gnosticism is actually a product of synceticsm [so] each of these theories can be supported from the sources and none of them is satisfactory alone; but neither is the combination of all of them [supportable] which would make Gnosticism out to mere a mere mosaic of these elements and so miss its autonomous essence.' Yet nearly fifty years later some scholars look for a single source for Gnosticism while many are unable to find a suitably bounded definition. Jonas would not cage Gnosticism. Instead he asserts 'The gnostic movement - such as we must call it - was a widespread phenomena in the critical centuries indicated, feeding like Christianity on the impulses of a widely prevalent human situation, and therefore erupting in many places, many forms, and many languages.' Jonas discusses many Gnostic texts and themes ..."--Amazon.com.… (mais)

A lot of books about the Gnostics talk about how they were suppressed by the mainstream Christian church, were an influence on church beliefs, acted as a catalyst to force the church to define its beliefs when it rejected the Gnostic beliefs or goes over the history of the discovery of hidden texts. They do all that but don't really cover what the Gnostics believed. This book covers the beliefs and the differences between the beliefs of various sects. I highly recommend it if you want to know the Gnostics instead of knowing ABOUT the Gnostics. ( )

LA RELIGION GNOSTIQUE

La Religion gnostique a été écrite par Hans Jonas pour intro-
duire le lecteur non spécialisé aux problèmes que son précédent
ouvrage, Gnosis und spätantike Geist dont le troisième volume
reste à paraître , posait sous des formes plus techniques et dans
le détail des controverses de spécialistes. Sur l'arrière-fond d'une
évocation du monde antique en sa période tardive un monde
largement hellénisé à l'est après Alexandre, mais cosmopolite
surtout et envahi par les cultes orientaux - il analyse une attitude
d'esprit qui emprunte à ces sources diverses l'expérience de la
transcendance de Dieu, de la dualité de l'être, de l'attente d'un
salut, ainsi que l'idée d'une connaissance libératrice. tout cela
prenant forme dans des mythes et des images plus qu'en des
systèmes philosophiques.
Apparaissent ainsi les grands thèmes : statut de l'homme étranger
au monde, nature de Dieu lui-même absent de ce monde -
lumière et ténèbre, vie et mort, chute, abandon et nostalgie.
sommeil, ivresse, appel, éveil. Chemin faisant. l'auteur cite les
textes gnostiques puis apprécie les écrits et les systèmes, du
« Chant de la Perle et du Poimandrès aux mythes très élaborés
des Valentiniens et au vaste drame de Mani. II examine les gnoses
qui supposent, comme en Iran, deux principes de toute éternité
opposés, et celles, de type syrien, qui déduisent le principe mau-
vais de l'autre par une crise au sein du divin. Pour finir, Hans
Jonas met en opposition la vision grecque du cosmos, beauté
et perfection, et la vision gnostique d'un cosmos ennemi de
l'homme; et la vertu grecque et le refus gnostique de la vertu,
soit dans le libertinage, soit dans l'ascèse. Jonas entrevoit des
analogies entre ce nihilisme des premiers siècles de notre ère et
l'existentialisme européen de l'après-guerre
Toutes ces questions sont reprises et précisées dans la grande
communication de 1966, au Congrès de Messine, sur les originet
du gnosticisme : autre texte fondamental qui vient compléter ce
volume.

LA RELIGIÓN GNÓSTICA: EL MENSAJE DEL DIOS EXTRAÑO Y LOS COMIENZOS DEL CRISTIANISMO

«Una magistral exposición, con numerosas notas, acerca de lo que se sabe sobre gnosticismo... El profesor Jonas escribe con autoridad, pasión y precisión sobre esta religión tan olvidada en el tiempo.»
The New Yorker

La religión gnóstica, obra fundamental del profesor Hans Jonas, una de las máximas autoridades en este tema, es un completo estudio de las ideas heréticas del gnosticismo, de su literatura, su lenguaje simbólico y sus principales dogmas, que, como sugiere en el último capítulo de este libro, comparten muchos puntos de encuentro con el existencialismo y nihilismo de la modernidad.

Hans Joñas (1903-1993) nació y fue educado en Alemania, país que abandonó en 1933 con la llegada de Hitler al poder. Fue profesor en la Hebrew University de Jerusalén, la Carleton University de Ottawa y, hacia 1955 emigró a Estados Unidos y enseñó filosofía en Nueva York. Ha publicado, entre otros, El principio de responsabilidad. Pensar sobre Dios y otros ensayos y Técnica, medicina y ética.

Outdated, but still a good, solid introduction to the travails of the Gnostics of assorted hue. Addendum: I think it was Philip K. Dick who noted that gnosticism was information theory, and of course Bakunin noted that the great unanswered question about everything, about every religion, was The Fall. In any case, any given paragraph will suck you in.
