It discusses how the Course resolves the God-world paradox that has existed in the Western world since the time of Plato—namely, how an imperfect material universe could result from a perfect immaterial Creator. Thus, the context of this exploration is the Platonic and Gnostic themes that have run through Western intellectual and religious history, and the similarities and contrasts between these and the Course.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eLove Does Not Condemn\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is in three parts: the first part introduces the Gnostics, Platonists, and the Church-Gnostic conflict of the first two centuries A.D.; the second discusses a seven-stage myth, as understood by Platonism, Christianity, Gnosticism, and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eA Course in Miracles\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e; the third compares and contrasts the four approaches in light of the God-world paradox, and concludes with a discussion of the errors common to the Gnostics and many students of the Course.
