Drawing from the early Christian heretical category of Gnosticism, American Gnosis explores the emergence of new forms of Gnostic religion throughout the Americas. Arthur Versluis explores the concept of Gnosis and examines neo-gnostic elements in contemporary American culture, including in religion, literature, film, and politics.
In American Gnostics, Arthur Versluis gives us another fascinating tour through some of the more obscure byways of American spirituality, and it is a worthy addition to his previous volumes exploring this terrain.
