{"product_id":"gnosticism-and-the-worship-of-serapis-9781425341312","title":"Gnosticism And The Worship Of Serapis","description":"\"\"Gnosticism and the Worship of Serapis\"\" is a scholarly book written by C. W. King that explores the ancient religious practices of Gnosticism and the worship of the Egyptian god Serapis. The book provides a detailed analysis of the origins, beliefs, and practices of Gnosticism, a mystical and esoteric form of Christianity that emerged in the early centuries of the Common Era. King also examines the cult of Serapis, a syncretic deity that combined elements of Greek and Egyptian religion, and its role in the religious landscape of the ancient Mediterranean world. Drawing on a wide range of primary sources, including ancient texts, inscriptions, and archaeological evidence, King offers a nuanced and insightful account of these fascinating and complex religious traditions. The book will appeal to scholars and students of religion, history, and archaeology, as well as anyone interested in the rich and diverse religious heritage of the ancient world.THIS 26 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Gnostics and their Remains Ancient and Mediaeval, by C.
