Book Overview
The Ophites by C.W. King is a book that explores the history and beliefs of the Ophites, a Gnostic sect that emerged in the early Christian era. The book delves into the origins of the Ophites, their religious practices, and their interpretation of the Bible. King examines the Ophites' beliefs in the serpent as a symbol of wisdom, their concept of the Demiurge, and their understanding of the role of Jesus Christ in their theology. The author also provides insights into the Ophites' influence on later Gnostic and esoteric traditions. This book is a valuable resource for scholars of early Christianity, Gnosticism, and comparative religion.THIS 30 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Gnostics and their Remains Ancient and Mediaeval, by C.
