By Tobias Churton
Published by Barnes & Noble
Year Published 1997
Book Format - Hard cover
Summary
The author takes the reader on a spiritual journey through two millennia ans across Europe. He pays particular attention to southern France of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, for it was there that Gnosticism, driven to verge of extinction, burst into new life as Cartharism. It was considered heresy though and the church founded an Inquisition specifically to crush it. Gnosticism has endured and has influenced such figures as Pico del MIrandola, William Blake and John Lennon.
