This is a first-rate entry! Thanks a lot for shaping up what was a pretty bare beginning. --

I still feel it could be a lot better... e.g. talking about the variety of different Gnostic systems in more clarity -- but its the best I can do at the moment. Thankyou for the encouragement. --

well, it's not like we have any real idea about them - after all, it was a Secret. It's kind of like trying to write about the Mystery Religions - they're remarkably elusive! I've been reading French structuralist takes on the Eleusinian mysteries all summer and I have a headache. My only quibble (and I'm not about to do anything about it) is the "scholars think...equally valid." That's what always gets Christianity off track, listening to scholars. Every really good schism starts with someone writing a commentary on the book of Romans.... --
