Waco Brew Theology: Gnosticism
Ready to brew up some Gnostic goodness? Gnosticism is the teaching based on Gnosis, the knowledge of transcendence arrived at by way of interior, intuitive means. Although Gnosticism thus rests on personal religious experience, it is a mistake to assume all such experience results in Gnostic recognition. It is nearer the truth to say that Gnosticism expresses a specific religious experience, an experience that does not lend itself to the language of theology or philosophy, but which has instead a close affinity to, and expresses itself through, the medium of myth.
