Mostly identifying information, no analysis but a couple of useful references and one main point of the text picked out.

Post-GA follow-up
Thanks again for the review. Re the comments above...
 * Narrowed that citation as requested. (The old citation was to the entire "Christology" chapter in Havelaar, but it's now just Christology & Docetism.)
 * On The Nag Hammadi Library in English: Yeah, the citation is to the first edition (1981), which the archive.org link should show. But the "Translations" section is to the third edition and has pp. 372–378 like you reported, so just an odd hiccup.  It looks like they say the same thing anyway though.
 * Well, Pearson is one of the big names, and he thinks it was Egyptian. Checking, Havelaar suggests Syria. Werner suggests Palestine or Syria.  I'm pretty sure that Egypt is the most popular place I've seen proposed (other scholars trusting Pearson?) but fair point that even if it's the most popular option, it's still a guess.  (A lot hinges on whether Gnosticism really was centered in Egypt, I guess.)  I'll weaken the claim some.
 * As a side note, I'm not sure how much it differs from the published version (which is what I used when writing this), but there's a "proofs" version of Luttikhuzien's chapter freely and legally available online if you're curious . I ended up making a WP article on him after reading it, I thought it was a good source - Gerard Luttikhuizen. SnowFire (talk) 07:13, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
