Tervahauta, Ulla
A Story of the Soul's Journey in the Nag Hammadi Library

A Study of 'Authentikos Logos' (NHC VI,3).

Contrary to the usual discussion of the Nag Hammadi writings from the viewpoint of Gnostic studies, she argues that Authentikos Logos is best approached from the context of Christian traditions of late ancient Egypt between the third and the fifth centuries.Tervahauta discusses the story of the soul's journey in light of various Christian and Platonic writings. Also, she analyses the relationship of Authentikos Logos with the Valentinian Wisdom myth and suggests that no firm evidence connects the writing closely with Valentinian traditions. 276 Seiten, gebunden (Novum testamentum et orbis antiquus/Studien zur Umwelt des Neuen Testaments; Vol. 107/Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht 2015) Ecken bestoßen /bumped at the edges and corners
