Church and Gnosis is a scholarly work by F. C. Burkitt that explores Christian thought and speculation during the second century. The book delves into the relationship between the early Christian church and Gnosticism, a religious movement that emphasized spiritual knowledge and personal experience. Burkitt examines the writings of prominent figures such as Justin Martyr, Irenaeus, and Valentinus, and analyzes their views on topics such as the nature of God, the role of the church, and the meaning of salvation. The book provides a detailed historical and theological analysis of the early Christian church and its interactions with Gnosticism, shedding light on the complex and often contentious relationships between different religious groups during this period. Overall, Church and Gnosis is a valuable resource for scholars and students of early Christian history and theology.The Morse Lectures for 1931.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
