The Ophites (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781169183476)

The Ophites is a book written by C.W. King that explores the history, beliefs, and practices of a Gnostic sect known as the Ophites. The Ophites were a mystical group that emerged in the early Christian era and were known for their veneration of the serpent as a symbol of divine wisdom and enlightenment. The book provides a detailed account of the Ophites' cosmology, their rituals, and their understanding of the nature of God and the universe. It also examines the influence of the Ophites on other Gnostic and esoteric traditions, as well as their impact on the development of Christian theology. The Ophites is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of religion, mysticism, and spirituality.THIS 30 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Gnostics and their Remains Ancient and Mediaeval, by C.
