Gnosticism (in a nutshell, a heresy of self-deification) has returned with a vengeance as a facet of the New Age Movement. Peter Jones has published several defenses against modern versions of old heresies, including Capturing the Pagan Mind and Cracking DaVinci's Code (with James Garlow). Here he navigates the seeker through feminist spirituality, the homosexual agenda and the selectively-biased media to uncover the root of both the problem and the path to it's defeat, at least in the seeker's life.
Delving into Gnosticism in both it's ancient and modern forms, Jones book reads like a primer to Gnostic apology. Couching his information in the Christian worldview, he gives the reader both the information about this heretical religious movement and the angles at which it diverges from traditional Christianity. End-of-chapter notes fill in many details, and also give the reader a jumping-off point to begin deeper research into this renewed attack on the Church and God's Word.
Peter Jones holds an M.Div. from Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary, a Th.M. from Harvard Divinity School, and a Ph. D. from Princeton Theological Seminary. At this writing, he is professor of New Testament at Westminster Theological Seminary in Escondido, California.
