About The Author	Hans Jonas (1903-1993) was a distinguished philosopher specializing in political science, theology, and bioethics. His published works include The Gnostic Religion: The Message of the Alien God & the Beginning of Christianity; The Phenomenon of Life: Toward a Philosophical Biology; and The Imperative of Responsibility: In Search of Ethics for the Technological Age.
	"Using the few sources available to him with penetrating insight, Jonas reconstructed the Gnostic worldview … The Gnostic Religion remains, even today, the classic introduction" – Elaine Pagels, author of The Origin of Satan"A fascinating exposition with copious quotations, of what is known of Gnosticism … Dr. Jonas writes with authority, passion, and precision about this long-forgotten religion" – The New Yorker
