Quote by Peter J. French

“Religious Hermeticism - the whole cult of prisca theologia - encouraged religious tolerance and inspired a new and liberal approach to religion in the sixteenth century. Religious Hermeticists like Dee thought that a religion of the world, one of love and unity, could be developed through the rediscovered prisca theologia, and they envisioned a healing of the breach in Christendom. Religious Hermeticism did away with dogmatic theology, stressed the mystical unity of all religions and the oneness of God, and emphasised pristine Christianity and man's innate knowledge of the Divinity; the writings of the prisci theologi were used to support these ideas.”
