Summary Excerpt Details

According to the World History Encyclopedia, Gnosticism is the belief that human beings contain a piece of God, the highest good or a divine spark, within themselves, which has fallen from the immaterial world into the bodies of humans. All physical matter is subject to decay, rotting, and death. Those bodies and the material world, created by an inferior being, are therefore evil. Trapped in the material world, but ignorant of its status, the pieces of God require knowledge to inform them of their true status. That knowledge must come from outside the material world, and the agent who brings it is the savior or redeemer.
