Full textThis dissertation is structured into five chapters. The first chapter will frame the discussion within current developments in the study of Gnosticism, where there has been a growing appreciation for social and ethical aspects of the Nag Hammadi tractates. A delimitation of the source base for this study will also be offered. Chapter 2 will offer a comprehensive overview of scholarly discussions of paraenesis over the past century. A functional definition, with an attendant typology of paraenetic material will be offered in closing. Chapter 3 directly engages the literary aspects of paraenesis within Valentinianism, placing the discussion within the context of moral exhortation in the Greco-Roman world, and, more specifically, early Christianity. This chapter will establish the presence of paraenesis within the Valentinian sources. Chapter 4 will then address the social function of paraenesis in two examples of Valentinian paraenesis, highlighting the rhetorical and discursive voice of each text. The final chapter will summarize the findings of the dissertation and raise implications of this study for the field of early Christian studies.

O Evangelho de Filipe é um dos manuscritos da Biblioteca de Nag Hammadi, descoberta em 1945 no sul do Egito, na região de Chenoboskion. Esse documento é datado do séc.II d.C., e é representativo do grupo “cristão gnóstico” valentiniano. O Evangelho de Filipe não é similar aos evangelhos canônicos; não relata cenas da vida de Jesus, mas possui, de modo geral, um caráter catequético. Ele é importante não só por ser uma fonte primária do valentinianismo, mas também porque nos revela um pouco sobre a ritualística e os sacramentos gnósticos, assunto relativamente pouco conhecido até mesmo no conjunto das fontes que tratam do gnosticismo. Muitos pesquisadores vêm observando que os ritos de iniciação descritos no Evangelho de Filipe são muito similares à ritualística do cristianismo proto-ortodoxo, o que nos mostra que as fronteiras entre os vários grupos cristãos eram muito tênues. Tais grupos, como os valentinianos, eram chamados de “hereges” pelos heresiólogos, que na verdade o faziam numa tentativa de não só desclassificálos, mas também de afirmar sua própria identidade. Nesta dissertação será feita a comparação de dados rituais não entre tradições religiosas extremamente diferentes, mas entre grupos cristãos que coexistiam no séc.II d.C.: o grupo valentiniano e o grupo de tradição apostólica, a partir de várias testemunhas das práticas sacramentais do cristianismo primitivo. Para isso também se mostra importante descrever o contexto histórico-ritualístico valentiniano no séc.II d.C., a fim de que se possa ter um entendimento maior dos dados analisados. _______________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT
The Gospel of Philip is one of the manuscripts of the Nag Hammadi Library, discovered in 1945 in southern Egypt, at the region of Chenoboskion. This document is from the second century post Cristum, and is representative of the group "christian gnostic" valentinian. The Gospel of Philip is not similar to the canonical Gospels, it does not report scenes of Jesus' life, but has, in general, a catechetical nature. It is important not only because it is a primary source of the valentinians, but also because it reveals to us a little about the gnostic ritual and the sacraments, a subject relatively unknown even in dealing with all sources of gnosticism. Many researchers have observed that the initiation rites described in the Gospel of Philip are very similar to the ritual of the proto-orthodox christianity, which shows that the boundaries between the various christian groups were very tenuous. Such groups, as the valentinians, were called "heretics" by heresiologists, who actually made an attempt not only to disqualify them, but also to assert its own identity. In this dissertation will be made to compare data between rituals not vastly different religious traditions, but between Christian groups that coexisted in séc.II AD: Valentinian the group and the group of apostolic tradition, from several witnesses to the sacramental practices of early Christianity. For this also becomes important to describe the historical context in séc.II AD Valentinian ritual, so that one may have a greater understanding of the data analyzed.

Full textAlready in the second century, the Church Father Irenaeus warned against reading the Gospel of Truth that was used among the so-called Valentinians. For more than one and a half millennium GospTruth was lost until in the 1950s a Coptic text was discovered that could be a translation of that work both loved and hated.
Since the discovery scholars have tried to determine whether the Coptic text represents the one mentioned by Irenaeus, and whether its author might even be the famous Gnostic teacher Valentinus of Alexandria.
The text is very complex and the present study the first attempt to use text linguistic tools for analysing GospTruth. A new and sometimes radically different translation is presented, and an hypothesis of date of redaction and authorship is put forward. Previously Gnostic texts have usually been read in light of the reports of the Church Fathers. In this study an attempt is made to detect topics that were interesting for the Valentinians and that have so far been neglected. The analysis presents a new ethical debate among early Christians regarding the Biblical law, and a hypothesis of how the author of GospTruth wanted his or her community to act towards the neighbouring communities is elaborated. In addition my investigation draws attention to an interpretation of the crucifixion that seems to have distinguished Valentinians from others.
For a long time scholars depicted the Gnostics as evil opponents to the church. During the last decades this view has been criticized, and today many scholars abandon the term Gnostic altogether, and instead only use the term Christian. In my opinion such an approach risks to conceal the unique features of Valentinianism, and the results of the present study will hopefully shed new light on a branch of Christianity which still is relatively unexplored.
