The Neoplatonists & The Johannine secessionists: The Sethian Connection

This work discusses in depth issues concerning the treatise Trimorphic Protennoia & The Father; The Apocryphon of John is also extensively addressed. Johannine & Sethian theological tenets are instrumental. The concepts tie in, directly, with Neoplatonism. The case is made that the Johannine secessionists are one and the same with the Sethians, and they later became the Neoplatonists just before the Western Roman Empire fell.
