Gnosticism and the New Testament
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“In Gnosticism and the New Testament a highly respected scholar presents a reliable and well-researched account of the interrelationships of Gnosticism and New Testament Christianity from their respective prehistory into the fourth century. Professor Perkins draws upon all the relevant sources and enters into dialogue with the views of numerous scholars of this and previous generations in giving us what will surely become a landmark work in the field.”
