""Gnosis or Ancient Wisdom in the Christian Scriptures or the Wisdom in a Mystery"" is a book written by William Kingsland that explores the concept of Gnosis, or ancient knowledge, as it is presented in the Christian scriptures. Kingsland delves into the esoteric teachings of Christianity, drawing on the writings of early Church Fathers and other mystical traditions to uncover hidden meanings and deeper truths within the biblical texts. The book examines the symbolism and allegory used in the Bible to convey spiritual insights and explores the connections between Christianity and other spiritual traditions, such as Hinduism and Buddhism. Kingsland also discusses the role of meditation and contemplation in accessing the wisdom of the ancients and offers practical guidance for readers seeking to deepen their understanding of Gnosis. Overall, ""Gnosis or Ancient Wisdom in the Christian Scriptures or the Wisdom in a Mystery"" provides a thought-provoking exploration of the mystical aspects of Christianity and the universal truths that lie at the heart of all spiritual traditions.This book is the last work of William Kingsland and was completed shortly before his death. �������In this work Kingsland shows how the fundamental teachings given to the world at the beginning of the Christian ere were derived from the Gnosis or Ancient Wisdom, but in time have become so perverted that the modern interpretation of Christianity represents merely their debased survival.������� Contents: Religion and Religions; The Bible; The Ancient Wisdom or Gnosis; The Genesis Narrative; The New Testament Scriptures, The Gospels; The New Testament Scriptures, Paul's Epistles; Practical Religion; Bibliography.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
