I recently read "The Jesus Mysteries" which talks a lot about gnostic beliefs. What I got from it is that the level of Christianity that most people experience is the literal level. Gnostics take it to a higher plain with a much deeper meaning. Unfortunately I returned the book to the friends who lent it to me or I'd share more. I highly recommend it, tho.
