أثر مدرسة الإسكندرية في هيكلة الغنوصية المسيحية

Abstract EN

Indeed, the ancient philosophies, the religions of secrets, also every ambiguous thing had attracted the ancient world because of the ecstasy of satisfaction it gave to the religious instinct far from the rituals of the formal state.

Since Gnosticism was one of those currents, we tried to extrapolate and analyze its content as an integrated system into its cognitive system and its view of God, the universe, and human beings and how to translate its religious instinct far from rituals.

Gnosticism is a non-ritual trend, but rather rises from it to limp in the levels of the spirit world, thus it was able to penetrate into most religions, philosophies, and sects if not all.

Gnosticism does not deviate from Hermetic counterparts, Mandaean, and others, it has affected and has been affected by the environments in which it was prevalent, especially the Christian religion.

, to the extent that some have questioned the Gnosticism of Jesus Christ, as the Gospels also swear by the Gnostic Teachings, especially in the writings of the Apostle Paul and the Gospel of John as exemplary Gnostic model.

According to the environment in which it was composed, Alexandria was considered the fertile land of Gnosticism after Samaria and Antakya.

It grew up there, but it completed its philosophical path in Alexandria, which at that time was the crossroads of East and West, it was truly the motherland in which the greatest leaders of Gnostic thought were to be found and in which they established their schools, as the latter provided them with a philosophical basis through which Gnosticism embodied its spirituality in a very complex cosmic and philosophical framework.
