Smith, Andrew Phillip. A Dictionary of Gnosticism. Wheaton, IL: Quest Books, 2009.
A Dictionary of Gnosticism is a scholarly yet accessible guide that covers the people, mythology, movements, scripture, and technical terms related to this early Christian Western religion. It contains nearly 1700 entries, from Aachiaram, an angel in the Secret Book of John, to Zostrianos, a third-century Gnostic text, and is a reliable reference for the Nag Hammadi library and other Gnostic texts, authors, and collections. An introduction explains who the Gnostics were and provides a whirlwind tour through the history of this captivating movement.
Andrew Phillip Smith was born and grew up in Penarth, near Cardiff, in South Wales, UK, and now lives in Dublin, Ireland, with his wife Tessa Finn and son Dylan. Smith edits The Gnostic, a small press magazine devoted to Gnosticism in all its forms and runs Bardic Press, a small publishing company publishing reprints and niche works in the areas of Gnosticism and early Christianity, Celtic interest, Gurdjieff/Fourth Way and Sufi poetry. His interests include early Christianity and Gnosticism, esoterica, Welsh and other mythology.
