Topic: Valentianism


In the News (Thu 24 Dec 09)

  
  Wikipedia: Origen
His own interests became more and more centered in exegesis, and he accordingly studied Hebrew, though there is no certain knowledge concerning his instructor in that language.
From about this period (212-213) dates Origen's acquaintance with Ambrose of Alexandria, whom he was instrumental in converting from Valentianism to orthodoxy.
Later (about 218) Ambrose, a man of wealth, made a formal agreement with Origen to promulgate his writings, and all the subsequent works of Origen (except his sermons, which were not expressly prepared for publication) were dedicated to Ambrose.

 PHILADELPHIA SEMINAR ON CHRISTIAN ORIGINSVolume 16 (1978-79)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The most extensive of these sources is the “gnostic” claimed by Bousset to be derived from Pantaenus, which broadly differentiates gnostics and pistics, as well as lists the qualities of the true gnostic.
During the discussion which followed this presentation, it was noted that Bousset and Casey were both limited to the accounts of Irenaeus and Tertullian for their knowledge of Valentianism.
In the light of the Valentinian documents published since, it may be that an analysis of what in the Excerpta is from Theodotion and what is not cannot really be based on whether or not the material is “Valentinian.” Consistency does not seem to be a quality endemic to the Valentinian outlook.

 A modern Miracle: Critical comment on the Course in Miracles
Other than in our usual way of thinking and perception, 'The Course' sketches knowledge as a situation in which there is a direct and total union with the essence of the known objects, without interference of the senses, reason or interpretation (cf.T 40 ff.,74).
We also encounter ignorance, in valentianism the total opposite of knowledge, time and time again in 'The Course', described as ‘perception’or our thought system.
These words do not only point to a subjective, intellectual activity, but more importantly to the reality outside every individual, reality as we experience it in ordinary life.
