The Tyranny of Time?

Meer over het boek

The book delves into Henri-Charles Puech's exploration of Gnosticism and its perspective on time and history, particularly focusing on four second-century texts he identified as Gnostic. Puech's argument highlights a pessimistic view of existence, suggesting that true bliss and truth lie beyond the constraints of the temporal world. This reassessment of his work involves a critical analysis of the foundational writings and a broader examination of second-century Christian and Gnostic texts, revealing a more nuanced understanding of these themes.
