The Apostolic Gnosis And The Gematria Of The Greek Scriptures

By Frederick Bligh Bond and Thomas Simcox Lea

Book Overview

The Apostolic Gnosis And The Gematria Of The Greek Scriptures is a book written by Thomas Simcox Lea. This book explores the concept of gnosis, or spiritual knowledge, in early Christianity and its relationship with gematria, a system of assigning numerical values to letters in the Greek alphabet. Lea argues that the use of gematria in the Greek Scriptures, particularly in the New Testament, was intentional and served to convey deeper spiritual meanings. He also examines the role of gnosis in the teachings of Jesus and the apostles, and how it was passed down through the early Christian community. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the relationship between gnosis and gematria, and offers insights into the spiritual practices of the early Christian church. Overall, The Apostolic Gnosis And The Gematria Of The Greek Scriptures is a valuable resource for scholars and anyone interested in the history and development of Christian spirituality.THIS 24 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Materials for the Study of the Apostolic Gnosis, by Thomas Simcox Lea.
