Roukema provides a good introductory text to the study of ancient gnosticism. Instead of trying to provide a comprehensive treatment of the subject he presents a representative selection of ancient gnosis as it appears in connection with early Christianity.

Roukema's approach to the subject is unique in that he makes the reader gradually familiar with the topics and ingredients of gnosticism without directly explaining its origins. This gives rise to curiosity in the reader and provides an impetus to discover more (and thus read on). I guess one could say that a definition of ancient gnosis develops and is not fully elucidated until the concluding chapters of the book where Roukema then closes with his own evaluations.

For those interested in the development of early Christianity and/or discoveries such as the Nag Hammadi library, Riemer Roukema's book would certainly provide a good supplement to your studies. I definitely recommend this addition to your library.
