The early days of Christianity were quite complex. There were numerous beliefs, interpretations, and schisms. Most of them died out after Christianity and the Church (mainly Catholic) as an institution were set up. The people who founded these sects were known as Gnostics.

In this gallery, we delve into some of these sects, their beliefs, and why they were rejected by mainstream Christianity. Click on.
