Book Reviews of The Gnostic Religion
Book Review: Could've Should've Would've Been A Five Star Book If Only,..
Summary: 4 Stars
It is an informative book, and is written in a fairly engaging manner. It has relatively few typos. It is, however, also rather bigoted at points. Some part of Jonas does not like Gnostics or Gnosticism and tends to favor Orthodoxy - in a subtle, back-biting sort of way.
Regardless, this is a book worth having in your library. Read it and extract the rich signal from the annoying undercurrent of noise.
It could've, it should've, it would've been a five star book if only,..
