This latest comprehensive work on Simon Magus lends new impetus to
the investigation of Early Christianity and questions surrounding
the origin and nature of Gnosticism. Major contributions of this
study include: (1), a departure from the traditional exegesis of
Acts 8, 5-24 (the first narrative source of Simon), and the later
following reports of ancient Christian writers; (2), an overview of
the literature of Graeco-Roman antiquity to determine the
contribution of "magic" and "the Magoi" in the development of
perceptions and descriptions of Simon; and (3), the inclusion of
social science explanation models and modern estimations of
"identity," in a creative approach to questions surrounding the
phenomenon of Simon.
