Synopsis

This book offers a fresh perspective on the early history of the Christian Church and presents a thorough analysis of the Gnostic heresies that plagued the early Church. The author draws on both ancient and modern scholarship to shed light on the origins and beliefs of these heretical sects, with particular attention to the role of the Gnostic teacher Marcus. The book also examines the response of the early Church Fathers, such as Irenaeus and Tertullian, to these heresies, and explores the ways in which their writings shaped the development of orthodox Christian doctrine. Ultimately, this work provides a comprehensive understanding of the complex theological landscape of the early Church and the enduring influence of Gnosticism on the development of Christianity.
