Wrestling with Archons

Gnosticism as a Critical Theory of Culture

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book demonstrates that ancient Christian Gnosticism was an ancient form of cultural criticism in a mythological garb. It establishes that, much like modern forms of critical theory, including the Frankfurt School and queer theory, ancient Gnosticism was set on deconstructing mainstream discourses and cultural premises.
