This volume contains essays by international scholars on a broad range of topics that deal with Sethian, Valentinian and other early Christian thought, as well as with Platonism and Neoplatonism, and offer a variety of perspectives spanning intellectual history, Greek and Coptic philology, and the study of religions ».&#160;Contents:&#160;A Distinctive Intertextuality: Genesis and Platonizing Philosophy in The Secret Revelation of John - Karen L.
