Apocalypse of the Alien God: Platonism and the Exile of Sethian Gnosticism - Divinations: Rereading Late Ancient Religion

Apocalypse of the Alien God shows that the fundamental break between the Platonic tradition and Judeo-Christianity began when the mystic Plotinus rejected the teachings of the Sethians, an influential group of Gnostics who operated at the intersection of Hellenic, Jewish, and Christian thought.
