Marcion utilised passages from the Old Testament in support of that position.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAround the middle of the Second Century AD, the Gnostic Christian Teacher Valentinus wrote 'the Gospel of Truth', which clearly conveys that for Valentinus, true 'Gnosis' was 'Knowledge of the Father'.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA copy of 'the Gospel of Truth' was found in Nag Hammadi, Egypt, in the middle of the last Century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere are no known surviving copies of the 'Antithesis', but the position these early Christians took is sound. 'Jephthah's Daughter and the Wrong God' defends this position, utilising a similar approach to the 'Antithesis'.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Andrew Moore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47156361101552,"sku":"2940152586565","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940152586565_p0.jpg?v=1764023354","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940152586565","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
