Not the Sexiest Gnostic

I forgot to mention that my dictionary made it onto the Top 10 Gnostic Stories of 2009, courtesy of Chicago Examiner writer Miguel Conner.

10. ‘A Dictionary of Gnosticism’ is published. Andrew Phillip Smith released the first comprehensive lexicon on Gnostic terminology since the perennial heretics came into the scene thousands of years ago. The Gnostics wrote in many languages including Coptic, Greek, Syriac and even some dialects of Chinese. They enjoyed puns and invented words in a way that would make Lewis Carroll proud. From Simon Magus to The Matrix, it’s all there and defined. Containing over 1,700 entries, ‘A Dictionary of Gnosticism’ is an essential tool for both those friendly and hostile to Gnosticism.

Sad to say, I didn't make it onto his subsequent list of the Top 10 Sexiest Gnostics.
