History of tradition and theology in the texts of the OrigWorld and Bronte from the Nag Hammadi Library

Summary/Abstract: The common passages between the Tractate without Title on the Origin of the World (NHC II,5) and the Bronte (NHC VI,2) are well known and these were disputed in the scholarly literature. The OW is a tractate that comprises cosmological, anthropological and eschatological teachings, the Bronte gives a self revelation of a feminine divine figure. The author, date and the place of creation are unknown in both cases but supposedly both writings come from the second century Alexandria and remained in the Nag Hammadi Library. In this examination, I introduce firstly the related passages and investigate their close contexts in their own writing. Then, based on the results of the scholarly literature I re-examine the common passages and make an attempt to interpret the theological speculations of their similar symbolism in the light of the Mariological and ecclesiological teachings of the contemporary Christian literature.
