    Cosmology and Fate in Gnosticism and Graeco-Roman Antiquity: Under Pitiless Skies (Repost)

    Nicola Denzey Lewis, "Cosmology and Fate in Gnosticism and Graeco-Roman Antiquity: Under Pitiless Skies"
    2013 | pages: 221 | ISBN: 9004245480 | PDF | 2 mb

    In 'Cosmology and Fate in Gnosticism and Graeco-Roman Antiquity,' Nicola Denzey Lewis dismisses Hans Jonas' mischaracterization of second-century Gnosticism as a philosophically-oriented religious movement built on the perception of the cosmos as negative or enslaving. A focused study on the concept of astrological fate in “Gnostic” writings including the Apocryphon of John, the recently-discovered Gospel of Judas, Trimorphic Protennoia, and the Pistis Sophia, this book reexamines their language of “enslavement to fate (Gk: heimarmene)” from its origins in Greek Stoicism, its deployment by the apostle Paul, to its later use by a variety of second-century intellectuals (both Christian and non-Christian). Denzey Lewis thus offers an informed and revisionist conceptual map of the ancient cosmos, its influence, and all those who claimed to be free of its potentially pernicious effects.
