Description: In the end, The Name of God and the Angel of the Lord reveals that not all gnostic speculation was anti-Jewish and, indeed, emerging gnostic and Christian traditions borrowed as much from Judaism as they criticized and rejected.--Michael A. Williams "Journal of Biblical Literature"

Review Quotes:

One of the most important books on Gnosticism to appear after the complete publication of the Nag Hammadi texts.

--Ioan Petru Culianu "History of Religions"
