The Allure of Gnosticism
The Gnostic Experience in Jungian Psychology and Contemporary Culture

Edited by Robert Segal, with June Singer
and Murray Stein

The Allure of Gnosticism is a collection of 16 essays illuminating Gnosticism in relation to such issues as Jungian thought, the nature of evil, the place of the feminine, communism and fascism, existentialism, Christian scriptures, Kafka, and Buddhism.

"The contributions are rich and original in their different ways. The authors, all eminent writers in their own field, are scholars, Jungian analysts, university professors and lecturers, and one Gnostic woman bishop. The interest of this book is both historical and psychological."
