Reviews

This book is a very important contribution not only to Hermetic studies but also to Gnostic studies as well. - Birger A. Pearson, in: Religious Studies Review 38/3 (September 2012) This is an innovative and highly fruitful and original contribution to the study of Hermetic thought. The volume focuses on the pedagogical practices that were operative in the spiritual formation of disciples. The use of prayer and other spiritual exercises in this formative process is emphasized. [...] it is a rich and highly rewarding piece of research. - Paul Foster, University of Edinburgh, in: The Expository Times 124/9 (2013) ...eine originelle Studie [...] die erste umfassend durchdachte Antwort auf die Frage nach der didaktischen Praxis der im CH zutage tretenden Religiositat... Die Moglichkeit und Notwendigkeit einer systematischen Erforschung des CH [...] ist durch La Voie d'Hermes eindrucksvoll unter Beweis gestellt worden. - Esteban Law, Berlin, in: Theologische Literaturzeitung 139 (2013), 11
