A Christian Gnosis (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781489528117)

Phillip Medhurst was born in Leicester, England in 1948. Educated at Alderman Newton's Grammar School, he read English at Wadham College, Oxford. After graduation he trained for the Anglican ministry. On ordination he served in a South London parish while qualifying as a schoolteacher at Goldsmiths' College. For two decades he taught religious education in both state-funded and private schools. In 1982 his son was permanently disabled as result of a road traffic accident, and this caused Phillip to radically re-assess his religious beliefs. He is now retired and devotes his time entirely to writing and fine art. He is no longer affiliated to any orthodox Christian denomination and lives alone in Kidderminster.
