Abstract

TAMAYO JARAMILLO, Carolina María  and  HASLER, Johann F. W. The Universal Christian Gnostic Movement in Colombia: an International Esoteric Movement Born in Colombia. Cuest. teol. [online]. 2012, vol.39, n.92, pp.373-393. ISSN 0120-131X.

The Universal Christian Gnostic Movement of Colombia was a worldwide esoteric organization which became the axis of multiple neo-gnostic institutions relevant inside Colombia and abroad. One of them kept its name till today. It was founded in the 70's in Colombia following the teachings of a "charismatic" and "messianic" leader who presented himself as been gifted with a revealing "transcendental knowledge", able to incarnate an impersonal force or "Christ", destined to reintegrate the essence into an "Interior or Absolute God". This article deals with the foundation, initial fragmentation and the doctrinal background of this movement.
