Is the Nag Hammadi Apocalypse of Paul a Valentinian text? Many
would say no, few would say yes. The Valentinian Temple brings
together all the available evidence to produce a systematic
argument in favour of the Apocalypse of Paul's Valentinian origins.
From Valentinus himself to the Gospel of Truth and the Gospel of
Philip, this book traces one of the most neglected trajectories in
Valentinian Christianity, namely the pursuit of mystical
experiences oriented around a heavenly temple. Starting with the
divine Name in the fragments of Valentinus, the development of a
high-priestly Christology is uncovered across a range of primary
sources, culminating in the Gospel of Philip's temple-based rituals
of initiation. The Valentinian Temple argues that it is against
this intellectual background that the Apocalypse of Paul ought to
be understood. This book will be of interest to experts and
students in Gnosticism, Valentinianism, early Christianity, Coptic
and biblical literature, and Pauline studies.
