Apocalypse of the Alien God: Platonism and the Exile of Sethian Gnosticism. By Dylan M. Burns

Few historians of Greek philosophy are able to read the Nag Hammadi Codices in the original; those who can are seldom able to situate them in the history of Greek philosophy.

In his opening chapter on norms of Greek education, Burns notes that to be a good Hellene in this period was not only to put on the garb of a sophist or a philosopher but to take part in corporate offerings to the gods.
