Note that Painchaud assumes that the tractat On the origin of the world betrayes knowledge of the Gospels and alludes secretly to Gospel trial before Pilate, but he ignores two alternative possibilities: That the tractat On the origin of the world ignores completely any Gospel That the primitive tex...

I should read surely this book: L'écrit sans titre: Traité sur l'origine du monde (NH II,5 et XIII,2 et Brit. Lib. Or. 4926[1]) of Louis Painchaud . The fifth document of codex II, which has come down to use without a title, is a veritable didactictreatise on the origin of the world. It seems intend...

I was going to quote from this book: Paradise Reconsidered in Gnostic Mythmaking: Rethinking Sethianism in Light of the Ophite Evidence by Tuomas Rasimus Searching for "Pilate" in a book where the principal argument were Archontic Gate-Keepers , I have a great surprise: For example, the ch...

Around the same time as Irenaeus (ca. 180 CE), a pagan opponent of Christianity, Celsus, composed a treatise called True Doctrine, which, however, only survives through Origen’s refutation of it in his Contra Celsum.
