Not only the Valentinian school, but also Hans-Martin Schenke's Sethianism and other early manifestations of Gnosis are probably best understood as early attempts to phrase Christian theology. In this context, the term Gnosticism is a useful category to describe ancient religious history."-- NO Originally presented as the author's Habilitationsschrift--Universität München, Katholisch-Theologische Fakultät, 2013 NO Includes bibliographical references (pages 419-453) and indexes CN BT1390 SN 9789004353657 K1 Christianity and other religions : Gnosticism K1 Gnosticism : Relations : Christianity K1 Sethians K1 Valentinians K1 Hochschulschrift
