À propos de ce produit
Product Information
In the second century, Platonist and Judeo-Christian thought were sufficiently friendly that a Greek philosopher could declare, What is Plato but Moses speaking Greek? Four hundred years later, a Christian emperor had ended the public teaching of subversive Platonic thought. When and how did this philosophical rupture occur? Dylan M. Burns argues that the fundamental break occurred in Rome, ca. 263, in the circle of the great mystic Plotinus, author of the Enneads. Groups of controversial Christian metaphysicians called Gstics ( kwers ) frequented his seminars, disputed his views, and then disappeared from the history of philosophy-until the 1945 discovery, at Nag Hammadi, Egypt, of codices containing Gstic literature, including versions of the books circulated by Plotinus's Christian opponents. Blending state-of-the-art Greek metaphysics and ecstatic Jewish mysticism, these texts describe techniques for entering celestial realms, participating in the angelic liturgy, confronting the transcendent God, and even becoming a divine being oneself. They also describe the revelation of an alien God to his elect, a race of foreigners under the protection of the patriarch Seth, whose interventions will ultimately culminate in the end of the world. Apocalypse of the Alien God proposes a radical interpretation of these long-lost apocalypses, placing them firmly in the context of Judeo-Christian authorship rather than ascribing them to a pagan offshoot of Gsticism. According to Burns, this Sethian literature emerged along the fault lines between Judaism and Christianity, drew on traditions kwn to scholars from the Dead Sea Scrolls and Echic texts, and ultimately catalyzed the rivalry of Platonism with Christianity. Plunging the reader into the culture wars and classrooms of the high Empire, Apocalypse of the Alien God offers the most concrete social and historical description available of any group of Gstic Christians as it explores the intersections of ancient Judaism, Christianity, Hellenism, myth, and philosophy.

The image advertised was for the fullsized book, when received it is a minibook the size of a letter. Not the A4 text book size as advertised. Paid $65+ for a fullsized book only to receive a mini version. Misleading picture, representing false advertisement, only in the description does it state size, which I didn't realise until received. Paid full prize for part of a book. Watch out!
