Résumé
This book offers a comprehensive exploration of Ancient Gnostic interpretations of the Old Testament, delving into the ways in which Gnostic thinkers and texts reframe the traditional biblical narratives. Through an in-depth analysis of key Gnostic concepts such as gnosis (hidden knowledge), the Demiurge (the false creator god), and the dualistic nature of the material and divine realms, the book reimagines the foundational stories of the Old Testament.
Key figures such as Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, and the prophets are examined through a Gnostic lens, offering radical reinterpretations of their roles in the cosmic struggle between ignorance and enlightenment. The book further explores the role of female figures in Gnostic thought, including Sophia, the divine embodiment of wisdom, and Mary Magdalene, who is presented as a leader and spiritual guide in early Christian Gnostic texts.
By analyzing a wide array of Gnostic scriptures, including the Apocryphon of John, the Gospel of Thomas, and the Gospel of Mary, the book brings to light the significant theological and philosophical contributions of Gnosticism to early Christian and mystical traditions.
