Two Powers in Heaven,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Two Powers in Heaven: Early Rabbinic Reports About Christianity and Gnosticism (Paperback)
Segal's study is wide-ranging and stimulating. His suggestions that Gnosticism arose in Judaism as a result of the polarization in the Jewish community over the issue of the status of God's primary angel and that the radicalization of Gnosticism developed out of the battle with the rabbis deserve study. One wonders, however, whether the influence of the rabbis was sufficiently strong as early as the origins of Gnosticism, and whether wider philosophical and religious developments in the period contributed more to the origins of Gnosticism than opposition to the rabbis. Recommended.
