Synopsis
Excerpt from The Evidences of the Genuineness of the Gospels, Vol. 3
OF this problem the solution peculiar to the Gnostics was twofold. In its most general form, as held by the principal sects, especially by the Valentinians and the Marcionites, it may be thus stated. They taught, on the one hand, that the Creator was an inferior and imperfect being, and, on the other, that evil was inherent in matter. Imperfection and evil, therefore, Were the necessary result of the defects both of the workman and of the material.
