This book examines the origins of the evil creator idea chiefly in
light of early Christian biblical interpretations. It is divided
into two parts. In Part I, the focus is on the interpretations of
Exodus and John. Firstly, ancient Egyptian assimilation of the
Jewish god to the evil deity Seth-Typhon is studied to understand
its reapplication by Phibionite and Sethian Christians to the
Judeo-catholic creator. Secondly, the Christian reception of John
8:44 (understood to refer to the devil's father) is shown to
implicate the Judeo-catholic creator in murdering Christ. Part II
focuses on Marcionite Christian biblical interpretations. It begins
with Marcionite interpretations of the creator's character in the
Christian "Old Testament," analyzes 2 Corinthians 4:4 (in which
"the god of this world" blinds people from Christ's glory),
examines Christ's so-called destruction of the Law (Eph 2:15) and
the Lawgiver, and shows how Christ finally succumbs to the "curse
of the Law" inflicted by the creator (Gal 3:13). A concluding
chapter shows how still today readers of the Christian Bible have
concluded that the creator manifests an evil character.
