David (Research Fellow Research Fellow Australian Catholic University) - The Evil Creator Origins Of An Early Christian Idea - Hardcover","description":"Binding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\nDescription: This book examines the origins of the evil creator idea chiefly in light of early Christian biblical interpretations. It is divided into two parts. In Part I the focus is on the interpretations of Exodus and John. Firstly ancient Egyptian assimilation of the Jewish god to the evil deity Seth - Typhon is studied to understand its reapplication by Phibionite and Sethian Christians to the Judeo - catholic creator. Secondly the Christian reception of John 8:44 (understood to refer to the devil's father) is shown to implicate the Judeo - catholic creator in murdering Christ. Part II focuses on Marcionite Christian biblical interpretations. It begins with Marcionite interpretations of the creator's character in the Christian \" Old Testament \" analyzes 2 Corinthians 4:4 (in which \"the god of this world\" blinds people from Christ's glory) examines Christ's so - called destruction of the Law (Eph 2:15) and the Lawgiver and shows how Christ finally succumbs to the \"curse of the Law\" inflicted by the creator (Gal 3:13). A concluding chapter shows how still today readers of the Christian Bible have concluded that the creator manifests an evil character.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: The Evil Creator Origins Of An Early Christian Idea\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Litwa M.
