The Gnostic Mystery of the Crucifixion by G.R.S. Mead is a book that explores the early Christian Gnostic beliefs about the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.

He also discusses the role of the divine feminine in Gnostic Christianity and how it relates to the crucifixion story. The book provides valuable insights into the Gnostic interpretation of the crucifixion and its significance in the early Christian movement.

Author: Mead, G. R. S.
G. R. S. Mead is regarded as a pioneer in the field of Gnostic and Hermetic studies. A highly intuitive scholar, Mead joined the company of Madame Blavatsky and her close associates. In this circle, he learned the profound mysteries of the Gnostics and became a translator of these writings. Mead evidently suffered some scholarly prejudice because of his connections with Theosophy. However, he also visited with C. G. Jung during his last years, and Jung thanked him for his dedicated work, his outstanding use of the English language, and for his affinity toward the experience of Gnosis.
