Rethinking "Gnosticism"
Michael A. Williams
This book cannot exactly be said to be an introduction to gnosticism, since after all it presents an argument for the abandonment of that very category. It attempts to serve a relatively wide audience, and certainly not just specialists in gnosticism, or early Christianity, or religions in late antiquity, or even in the study of religion at large. An effort has been made to frame a discussion that is also accessible and welcoming to the interested general reader, who knows little or nothing about what is customarily called "gnosticism". The extended argument at the core of this book amounts to a case study in the construction of categories in the study of religions, and in how a category can become more an impediment than an expedient to understanding.
