Summary
Between Hermes and Christ
Cornelius Agrippa's Middle Way
Henricus Cornelius Agrippa de Nettesheim (1486–1535) was one of the most educated and controversial people of his time. The embodiment of the established image of the "Renaissance man" who enjoys the fruits of his newly realized freedom.
Looking from Agrippa to the future, an entire tradition, if not more, of esoteric Christianity inspired by his work is revealed to us: from Giordano Bruno to Eni Bezant and modern theosophy, not to mention the New Age, a thin thread of his ideas about external and internal Christianity, Christianity for the common man and that for selected. The subversiveness of that idea has not lost its power even after so many centuries.
