Archangelo da Del Grazio

This is the first, ever, Gnostic ghost story. In the earliest days of the Christian church, half the church was Gnostic and half was Judeo-Christian. After 4 centuries of inner warfare, Judeo-Christianity claimed a victory. But what if the Gnostics had been right?

In 1944 Father Petranelli, a Vatican priest, meets an untimely death and finds himself in an afterlife which is not at all as he had expected it to be. The reader is taken through the Cosmos as the Gnostics envisioned it in a highly engrossing and informative voyage.

Edited by James Watt, Back Fence Publishing. This is a most unusual book. It is an entertaining ghost story. It also provides an historical overview of the early Christian church few published sources seldom give. Beyond that, it takes the little known religious philosophy of Gnosticism and brings the reader a clear view of a subject often fraught with confusion. Del Grazio then goes further and takes what is known of the old Gnosticism and projects what it might have become had it had been allowed to come down to modern times, instead of being wiped out as heresy by the early church. All in all, this is a most interesting book.
