| Summary: | The Gospel of Philip as one of the most outstanding specimens of the library of Nag-Hammadi Codex still poses difficult questions to scholars - one of the most important - what role does the teaching expressed in the Gospel play in the context of the II century Christianity, the movement of the gnostic Valentinus and pre-Christian literature. The remarkably eclectic character of The Gospel of Philip which makes the systematization of theological conclusions almost impossible, reveals many important aspects about the II century Syrian-Egyptian Gnosticism in general as well as the methods of its analysis. The text of The Gospel of Philip demonstrates that Gnosticism of the time does not live only on historical events, and even not on revelation but on the anthropological and cosmological deep structure characteristic for pagan archetypes, with diverse and mutually opposing systemic elements making a human godlike. The Gnostic myth is the objectivization of this structure with the help of highly eclectic symbols, terms and narratives. That is the reason why the value of these and other texts of this type (which do not represent the teaching of the ancient, apostolic church) do not lay in the field of research of theological and pre-Christian literature but in the field of psychological and deep structure (archetype) analysis with the focus on this phenomenon of pagan eclectic thinking. Research of Gnostic texts may help to find answers to questions about the highly eclectic way of religious thinking in Latvia. |
