Church and Gnosis: A Study of Christian Thought and Speculation in the Second Century is a scholarly work by F. C. Burkitt, published in 1932. The book explores the relationship between early Christianity and Gnosticism, a set of religious and philosophical beliefs that emerged in the second century AD. Burkitt examines the writings of early Christian thinkers such as Irenaeus, Clement of Alexandria, and Origen, as well as Gnostic texts such as the Gospel of Thomas and the Pistis Sophia. He argues that while Christianity and Gnosticism shared some common themes, such as the belief in a divine redeemer, they ultimately represented two distinct and incompatible worldviews. Burkitt's work is considered an important contribution to the study of early Christian history and theology, and remains relevant to contemporary discussions of the relationship between religion and philosophy.The Morse Lectures for 1931.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
