{"product_id":"what-is-esoteric-christianity-octaves-dragonfly-9798671262902","title":"What is Esoteric Christianity?","description":"Esoteric Christianity is an ensemble of Christian theology which proposes that some spiritual doctrines of Christianity can only be understood by those who have undergone certain rites (such as baptism) within the religion. The term esoteric was coined in the 17th century and derives from the Greek ἐσωτερικός (esôterikos, \"inner\").These spiritual currents share some common denominators, such as heterodox or heretical Christian theology; the canonical gospels, various apocalyptic literature, and some New Testament apocrypha as sacred texts; and discipline arcane, a supposed oral tradition from the Twelve Apostles containing esoteric teachings of Jesus the Christ. Hermeticism, also called Hermetics, is a religious, philosophical, and esoteric tradition based primarily upon writings attributed to Hermes Trismegistus (\"thrice-greatest Hermes\"). These writings have greatly influenced the Western esoteric tradition and were considered to be of great importance during both the Renaissance and the Reformation. The tradition traces its origin to a prisca theologia, a doctrine that affirms the existence of a single, true theology that is present in all religions and that was given by God to man in antiquity. This is the connection of those stories.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Octaves Dragonfly\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798671262902\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 100\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.24d","brand":"Octaves Dragonfly","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48851862356223,"sku":"9798671262902","price":7.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/what-is-esoteric-christianity-octaves-dragonfly-9798671262902","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
