""Church and Gnosis: A Study of Christian Thought and Speculation in the Second Century"" is a scholarly work by F.C. Burkitt that explores the relationship between early Christian theology and the philosophical movement of Gnosticism. The book focuses on the second century CE, a time when Christianity was still developing its theological beliefs and practices. Burkitt examines the ways in which early Christian thinkers interacted with Gnostic ideas and how this influenced the development of Christian doctrine. He also explores the differences between the two belief systems and how they ultimately led to the rejection of Gnosticism by the early Church. This book provides a fascinating look at the intellectual and theological landscape of early Christianity and sheds light on the complex relationship between Christianity and Gnosticism in the second century. It is a valuable resource for scholars and students of early Christian history and theology.This is a new release of the original 1932 edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
