Description

Explore the historical roots of the evil creator concept in this scholarly work from Oxford University Press. This book examines how early Christian biblical interpretations shaped the understanding of a malevolent deity. Part I investigates the connection between ancient Egyptian mythology and early Christian thought. It analyzes how the assimilation of the deity Seth-Typhon influenced Phibionite and Sethian Christian views of the Judeo-catholic creator. The text also examines the reception of John 8:44 and its implications regarding the identity of the devil's father and the creator's role in the death of Christ. Part II shifts the focus to Marcion, providing a comprehensive look at these complex theological developments. This volume is an essential resource for students and scholars of church history and early Christian theology.
