Note 222 — Lecture V. CHRISTIANITY AND GREEK PHILOSOPHY.

The above slight sketch of some of the leading tendencies which have been loosely grouped together under the name of Gnosticism has been left unelaborated, because a fuller account, with the distinctions which must necessarily be noted, would lead us too far from the main track of the Lecture: some of the tendencies will re-appear in detail in subsequent Lectures, and students will no doubt refer to the brilliant exposition of Gnosticism in Harnack, Dogmengeschichte, i. pp. 186-226, ed. 2.
