Was There a Gnostic Religion? (Publications of the Finnish Exegetical Society 87)

The title of this short collection of essays leaves open the question of the focus of the book, which offers papers from a 1999 conference held in Lahti, Finland. The short length of this collection and its compact bibliography make it somewhat useful for students, though the book is marred by editorial errors that produce typographical mistakes, incorrect English words, and misarranged text (see, e.g., pp. 129-31).
