Palyulin, A. Yu. Political and Moral Views of Ancient Christians and Gnostics

Abstract: In the present work, a comparative analysis of political and legal views of the two polar doctrines of late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages: Christianity and Gnosticism is conducted. The aim of the author is to show the causes of this confl ict and to consider the possible consequences of this struggle in the genesis of European law. There is a task set before author to analyze a situation in which the Gnostic doctrines laid the foundation of the new states (such for example as a Manichean Sasanian empire) in early medieval Europe, and to draw conclusions about the social and legal implications of such political legal entities.
