Dr. Hoeller traces this fascinating story throughout time and shows how Gnosticism has inspired such great thinkers as Voltaire, Blake, Yeats, Hesse, Melville, and Jung.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46680730763422,"sku":"ADS-9780835608169","price":34.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780835608169.jpg?v=1775544373","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780835608169","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
