Sobre IBD

In 'GNOSTIC PRESENCES IN ETHIOPIA: Spiritual Lore and Magic in Ethiopian Christianity,' readers are taken on a compelling journey through the fusion of Gnostic and Ethiopian Christian traditions. Beginning with a comprehensive overview of Gnosticism-its myths, influences, and characteristics-the book transitions to the heart of its focus: the profound and, at times, enigmatic intersections of Gnostic thought with Ethiopian religious practices. From the debates surrounding these influences to the translations of vital texts from Greek and Arabic, every facet is meticulously explored. Notably, the work delves into talismanic works, the 'Mikaelite' opuscula, and other undatable sources that shed light on thaumaturgical practices. Coupled with introspective conclusions and a detailed appendix, this book serves as a lighthouse for scholars, theologians, and curious readers alike, seeking to understand the rich tapestry of spiritual beliefs and their evolution in the heart of Ethiopia.

Four hundred years later, a Christian emperor had ended the public teaching of subversive Platonic thought. When and how did this philosophical rupture occur? Dylan M. Burns argues that the fundamental break oc...
