The early church and gnosticism are represented by St Paul and Simon Magus of Samaria. This text focuses on the ideas of these two men and their lineage. The author summarizes how these paradigms evolved and their psychological significance for the individual and contemporary ideas in religion.

The Psyche in Antiquity: Gnosticism and early Christianity, from Paul of Tarsus to Augustine

Rather than examining early philosophy as a whole, this text tracks the psyche as it manifests itself in the archetypal ideas of the ancient Greeks. The author's perspective redeems Greek philosophy by relating its ideas to modern psychological experience.
