In this book Phil Mason explores an emerging phenomenon in the contemporary Charismatic/Pentecostal Movement that is drawing many believers into speculative theologies around a number of themes that are 'extra-biblical' in nature. The author examines two distinctive streams of 'new revelation' that are finding a new audience. In the arena of transformational theology, a number of popular teachers have emerged, offering their audience a paradigm of inner transformation that quantum leaps the Pauline paradigm of a progressive cleansing and healing of the heart. Paul warned the Corinthians; "Do not go beyond what is written!" (1 Corinthians 4:6 NIV) The emerging 'perfectionist' preachers are departing from Paul's theology of transformation.On the other end of the spectrum, the charismatic world is also experiencing an increase in speculative theologies of alien races, exposing hidden agendas perpetrated by invisible beings to infiltrate the human genome for sinister purposes. This secret infiltration requires esoteric techniques to cleanse our DNA from the defilement of alien intrusion. We are in the midst of a revival of the 'gnostic spirit;' a quest for a higher knowledge that ushers believers into an advanced dimension of spiritual revelation that, on both accounts, transcends the revelation of Scripture. Gnosticism was a first and second century movement that sought to replace biblical revelation with a higher 'gnosis,' or knowledge. This gnostic spirit has infiltrated the 21st century church.Using the paradigm of Paul's first century conflict with the theology of Apollos as a template, Phil draws out some powerful biblical principles to equip the church to identify the presence and activity of the gnostic spirit and to recover what Paul called "the simplicity of devotion to Christ." (2 Corinthians 11:3) It is time to return to the simple Gospel.

In this book an attempt is made to single out those elements in the philosophical system of the Enneads that stand apart from the Platonist tradition. On the basis of an extensive analysis of fundamental texts the author shows that what Plotinus had in mind was a quite independent paradigm of metaphysical theology, with at its centre the human person.

Gnosticism is a countercultural spirituality that forever changed the practice of Christianity. Before it emerged in the second century, passage to the afterlife required obedience to God and king. Gnosticism proposed that human beings were manifestations of the divine, unsettling the hierarchical foundations of the ancient world. Subversive and revolutionary, Gnostics taught that prayer and mediation could bring human beings into an ecstatic spiritual union with a transcendent deity. This mystical strain affected not just Christianity but many other religions, and it characterizes our understanding of the purpose and meaning of religion today. In The Gnostic New Age, April D. DeConick recovers this vibrant underground history to prove that Gnosticism was not suppressed or defeated by the Catholic Church long ago, nor was the movement a fabrication to justify the violent repression of alternative forms of Christianity. Gnosticism alleviated human suffering, soothing feelings of existential brokenness and alienation through the promise of renewal as God. DeConick begins in ancient Egypt and follows with the rise of Gnosticism in the Middle Ages, the advent of theosophy and other occult movements in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and contemporary New Age spiritual philosophies. As these theories find expression in science-fiction and fantasy films, DeConick sees evidence of Gnosticism's next incarnation. Her work emphasizes the universal, countercultural appeal of a movement that embodies much more than a simple challenge to religious authority.

Gnostic Return in Modernity demonstrates the possibility that Gnosticism haunts certain modern discourses. Studying Gnosticism of the first centuries of the common era and utilizing narrative analysis, the author shows how Gnosticism returns in a select band of narrative discourses that extends from the seventeenth century German mystic Jacob Boehme through Hegel and Blake down into the contemporary period. The key concept is that of narrative grammar. Unlike the hypothesis of an invariant narrative, a Gnostic narrative grammar allows room for the differences between modern and ancient forms of Gnosticism, and respects the dignity of both periods.
