Abstract

Abstract The contribution examines whether some early Christian thinkers, usually classified as “gnostics,” were influenced in a special way by interpretations of the biblical account of creation in developing their particular doctrine (Cerinthus, Menander, Simon Magus, and Saturninus/Satornil). It turns out, however, that not only is there too little solid information about these thinkers, but the apparent specifics of interpretation are taken from contemporary Judaism. Only the distance between the supreme God and his helpers in creation seems to be more clearly accentuated than in many texts, but this may also be polemics of these Gnostics majority church opponents.
《创世纪》第一章和诺斯替主义的开端
这篇论文考察了一些早期的基督教思想家,通常被归类为“诺斯替派”,在发展他们特定的教义(Cerinthus, Menander, Simon Magus和Saturninus/Satornil)时,是否以一种特殊的方式受到了对圣经创造描述的解释的影响。然而,事实证明,不仅关于这些思想家的可靠信息太少,而且这些解释的明显细节都来自当代犹太教。只有至高无上的上帝和他的助手之间的距离似乎比在许多文本中更清楚地强调,但这也可能是这些诺斯替派占多数的教会反对者的论战。
