The Basilidian Gnosis is a book written by G. R. S. Mead that explores the teachings and beliefs of the Basilidian Gnostics, a Christian sect that flourished in the second century AD. Mead provides a comprehensive overview of their cosmology, theology, and practices, drawing on primary sources such as the writings of Basilides and his followers. He examines their unique interpretation of the Christian message, including their belief in a complex system of emanations from a transcendent God, the role of Jesus as a divine messenger, and the importance of spiritual knowledge (gnosis) for salvation. Mead also discusses the influence of other philosophical and religious traditions on Basilidian Gnosticism, such as Platonism and Hermeticism. The book is a valuable resource for scholars and students of early Christian history and Gnosticism.THIS 38 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Fragments of a Faith Forgotten, by G. R. S. Mead.
