Abstract

The struggle between orthodox Anglicans and the deists, freethinkers, and 'atheists' who opposed their exclusive claims to religious power and political authority reveals cultural practices and ideological assumptions central to an understanding of eighteenth-century thought. In this 1995 collection of essays, leading scholars look beyond the clash of philosophical propositions to examine the role of deists and freethinkers as the producers and the subjects of literary, philosophical and religious controversy. They explore the curious symbiosis between the defense of orthodoxy and the elaboration of new forms of heterodox argument; they examine the practical implications of the debate in specific areas such as the libel laws and the growing influence of Lockean philosophy; and they show how the assault on orthodoxy influenced the development of historiography, public policy, and even the rise of the novel.

Abstract

Die frühe christliche Kirche entwickelte sich durch die Auseinandersetzung mit ihrer Umwelt zu ihrer spezifischen Eigenart. Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht die Auseinandersetzung zwischen Celsus und Origines, Irenäus und den Gnostikern (unter Heranziehung wichtiger Nag Hammadi-Texte) sowie Plotin und den Gnostikern. Wesentliche Berührungspunkte zwischen platonischer Philosophie und christlicher Theologie werden neu aufgezeigt - zugleich aber auch unüberwindbare Schranken. Erstaunlich und tragisch ist vor allem das Missverständnis zwischen Irenäus und christlichen Gnostikern, deren Anregungen der Kirche verloren gehen. Die Untersuchung ist ein quellenfundierter Beitrag zur Entstehung der frühen Kirche, der sich durch seine Kenntnis der Alten Welt auszeichnet. This study examines the controversy between Celsus and Origen, between Irenaeus and the Gnostics (with reference to important Naghammadi texts) and between Plotinus and the Gnostics. Substantial points of contact between Platonic philosophy and Christian theology are shown as well as the insurmountable barriers between them. Of particular surprise and tragedy is above all the misunderstanding between Irenaeus and the Gnostics, whose initiatives were thus lost for the Church. The study is a source-based contribution to the genesis of the early Church and is distinguished by its knowledge of the Ancient World.
