Hello Dr Darrell Bock,
I was listening to a segment your teaching on the mobile ed course on the gospels. When you address the issue of Gnosticism, in the 2nd century. There idea of creation.
Is that a different gnostic group/teaching that is in the historic background issues in first John. That problem that was plagued the church he was writing to, in 1John.
- That 1 John group is probably pre-Gnostic. They share a neo-Platonic worldview.
- Thank you.
