Dr. David Litwa on The Evil Creator and The Sethians

The idea of a deficient Demiurge was widespread in early Christian times. Why? Between a literal reading of the Hebrew Bible and pagan polemics, the moral and authoritative standing of the creator was fiercely questioned.

As a bonus, I provide a spanning exposition of the Sethians, including theology, history, culture, and impact.
