Basilides

This book explores key questions about early Christian beliefs and texts, including the possible true nature of biblical events, the existence of multiple heavens, and the origins of the material world. Dr. Litwa examines the authentic writings of Basilides and Isidore, contrasting them with portrayals by heresy hunters to offer a clearer understanding of these Gnostic figures. By analyzing the 19 authentic fragments, the author provides insights into what can be definitively known about this influential early Christian Gnostic.
