Product Description
In Gnostic Secrets of the Naassenes Mark Gaffney deciphers the message recorded in the highly symbolic Naassene Sermon, a lesson intended for an inner circle of disciples who were prepared for advanced initiation into Jesus' wisdom teachings. These teachings address the awakening of spirit and include practices aimed at restoring the soul's lost connection to God. Most important, however, is their revelation of the central truth of immanence - the indwelling of the Divine as symbolized by the Grail. According to the Naassenes, immanence in the true sense intended by Jesus allows for spiritual attainment by ordinary Christians in this life without the intermediary of Church or priest. This was the real meaning of the Last Supper and why the Naassenes believed that Jesus was the fulfillment of all the Mystery traditions.

Reviewer: M. R Turner from Edgemoor, SC, United States
I was hesitant at first to start reading through the book. I often start out reading books on good topics with wonderful titles and a rivetting back cover only to find that was all the book had going for it. I am happy to say that was not the case this time out. Mr. Gaffney did a great job researching and writing this book on a subject the Church would rather people not know of.
The sheer amount of history you will learn about early Christianity is astonishing, and it is all (repeat, all) well more than adequately footnoted, indexed and appendixed. Also, the comparisons and contrasts between early Christianity and other of its contemporary religions and its predecessors is very nicely handled. This is a must-read for those who genuinely want to get to the nitty-gritty of their Church and how it has evolved over the past few thousand years.
I cannot recommend this book highly enough!
