Theological appropriation of existing works (1 gen 50 anni – 31 dic 359 anni)

Descrizione:

Early Christian writers of the era seemed to have felt quite free to reversion existing literature (be it pagan, Jewish, or pre-Christian gnostic) in order to incorporate their own religious mythology and reorient the work at Jesus and the claims now being pushed about him.

Sophia of Jesus Christ (c. 50-200 CE)
The Testament of the Twelve Patriarchs (c. 70-200 CE)
Christianized Sibylline oracles (80-250 CE)
Revelation (90-95 CE)
Ascension of Isaiah (150-200 CE)
Book of Thomas the Contender? (150-225 CE)
Fifth and Sixth Books of Ezra (150-250 CE)
Concept of Our Great Power (150-360 CE)
Sentences of Sixtus (180-230 CE)

The Manicheans would later return the favor by grafting an esoteric hymn into the Acts of Thomas.
