| Résumé: | Preliminary Material -- Gnosticism and Hermetism in Antiquity: Two Roads to Salvation -- Eugnostus and Aristides on the Ineffable God -- Apuleius, Gnostics and Magicians on the Nature of God -- Autogenes and Adamas: -- The Creation of Adam's Psychic Body in the Apocryphon of John -- Von der jüdischen Weisheit zum gnostischen Erlöser: -- Jewish and Platonic Speculations in Early Alexandrian Theology: Eugnostus, Philo, Valentinus, Origen -- The Shape of Edem according to Justin the Gnostic -- Der Bericht des koptischen Kyrillos von Jerusalem über das Hebräerevangelium -- The Cathars: Medieval Gnostics? -- Juden und Christen in Alexandrien im 2. und 3. Jahrhundert -- The Christian "School" of Alexandria in the Second and Third Centuries -- The Authentikos Logos: A New Document of Christian Platonism -- The Theology of the Teachings of Silvanus -- The Teachings of Silvanus and the Greek Gnomic Tradition -- Index of Sources -- Nag Hammadi and Manichaean Studies. The discovery of the Nag Hammadi Library (1945) has given an enormous impetus not only to the study of ancient Gnosticism but also to that of early Christianity in general. Most of the studies contained in this volume deal with mythological conceptions and theological ideas found in various Nag Hammadi writings. The gnostic views on the nature of God and on creation and salvation receive particular attention, ranging from Philo to the medieval Cathars. The Nag Hammadi Library also shed new light on the development of early Alexandrian Christianity and its theology. The book contains six studies which explicitly deal with these topics. This volume is of interest to students of Gnosticism, early Christianity and Graeco-Roman religious and philosophical ideas in general |
