  1. Rethinking "Gnosticism": An Argument for Dismantling a Dubious Category

    Rethinking Gnosticism An Argument for Dismantling a Dubious Category ISBN 0 691 00542 7 , is a 1999 book by Michael Allen Williams. This is one of the first critical works that goes about comparing the established academic definitions of gnosticism to the now acquired Nag Hammadi library Nag Hammadi texts. The main points of the book are that there is no established definition of gnosticism by people who use the term, let alone the academic world and that the groups referred to as gnostic by the Christian church apologist s referred to themselves often by their leader or leaders names but no group referred to themselves as gnostic or gnostics . Also, Williams mentions the argument that none of the groups labeled gnostic shared a common set of beliefs that put them in a group together. The only things close to this would be the Christian heresiographical use of referring to these varied groups as gnostics . As well as the varied set of interruptions of the creator of the material world Yahweh or demiurge by these early groups. Finally Williams clarifies that the ancient gnosticism of the Nag Hammadi groups and the misused gnosticism of moderns groups and academia have little if anything in common. Williams suggests a better and more adequate term for these heresy hereticial groups would be biblical demiurge demiurgical traditions .
