The Battle, the Diadem, and the Light

Gnosis means "knowledge" or "to know" in Greek. With the discovery of the Nag Hammadi texts in upper Egypt in December 1945, some of the world's most brilliant and enlightened voices from antiquity can share their insights and messages with us today. The Battle, the Diadem, and the Light is a work that tries to pay homage to that vibrant and robust history of spiritual and religious movements. Reflecting the influences of Christianity, Judaism, Hermeticism, and Zoroastrianism, gnosis remains a rich well-spring of mankind's ascent and journey. Perhaps The Battle, the Diadem, and the Light can spur readers to learn anew about this forgotten religion of Light. From Sophia the fallen aeon to the grieving and redemption of the soul, to singular figures such as Christ and Hypatia, there is something for everyone.
