Conoscevi gi� il problema. Ora incontri i responsabili.
La storia ufficiale del Cristianesimo ha un buco enorme: i teologi pi� radicali e intellettualmente audaci del II secolo sono stati quasi completamente cancellati. Non perch� avessero torto. Ma perch� avevano ragione in modo troppo scomodo.
Nei primi due volumi di questa serie abbiamo tracciato le coordinate filosofiche - da Platone a Marcione - e il terreno storico che rese possibile la grande frattura teologica. Ora arriviamo al cuore: i pionieri dimenticati che operarono la transizione dalla filosofia alla mitologia gnostica, i teologi che per primi dichiararono che il creatore del mondo era un'entit� difettosa, ignorante, o apertamente ostile all'umanit�.
Chi troverai in queste pagine:
Simone di Samaria - spesso ridotto alla caricatura del "Simon Mago" degli Atti degli Apostoli, fu il primo a sistematizzare la frattura cosmica tra il Dio supremo e il creatore materiale che diventer� il cuore dello Gnosticismo.
Menandro - ne svilupp� le implicazioni rituali con innovazioni battesimali che anticipano strutture poi considerate ortodosse.
Saturnino di Antiochia - introdusse l'idea pi� destabilizzante di tutte: Yahweh non � malvagio, � semplicemente incompetente.
Il Maestro Sethiano - attraverso l'Apocrifo di Giovanni, cristallizz� definitivamente Yaldabaoth e invert� sistematicamente ogni versetto della Genesi: il Paradiso come prigione, il Comandamento come oppressione, il Serpente come liberatore.
Ma questo volume non � solo storia delle idee. � un'indagine sul meccanismo profondo: come si costruisce un'eresia? Come l'ortodossia si definisce per contrasto con ci� che dichiara di rifiutare? E soprattutto - perch� queste idee attraevano? Perch� migliaia di cristiani colti e sinceri scelsero di credere che il creatore del mondo fosse un'entit� difettosa, e che la vera divinit� fosse nascosta, silenziosa, inaccessibile al culto ufficiale? Le risposte sono pi� razionali - e pi� inquietanti - di quanto si possa immaginare.
Attraverso l'analisi filologica delle fonti patristiche, la stratigrafia testuale dell'Apocrifo di Giovanni nelle sue quattro versioni, il confronto sistematico delle concezioni del Demiurgo e la storia della diffusione - fino alle riemergenze medievali in Pauliciani, Bogomili e Catari - questo libro offre gli strumenti per studiare gli eretici sconfitti con empatia storica, senza anacronismo e senza apologia.
La Rivoluzione Gnostica � il terzo volume della serie dedicata alle origini del pensiero gnostico. Pu� essere letto in modo autonomo, ma raggiunge la sua piena profondit� in continuit� con Il Dio Malvagio e Il Dio Sbagliato.
Per chi non si accontenta della versione ufficiale della storia.
