The author shows how in the second and third centuries, the Valentinians were important contributors to a shared culture of early Christian exegesis. By examining the use of the same Matthean pericopes by both Valentinian and patristic exegetes, the author demonstrates that certain Valentinian exegetical innovations were influential upon, and ultimately adopted by, patristic authors. Chief among Valentinian contributions include the allegorical interpretation of texts that would become part of the New Testament, a sophisticated theory of the historical and theological relationship between Christians and Jews, and indeed the very conceptualization of the Gospel of Matthew as sacred scripture. This study demonstrates that what would eventually emerge from this period as the ecclesiological and theological center cannot be adequately understood without attending to some groups and individuals that have often been depicted, both by subsequent ecclesiastical leaders and modern scholars, as marginal and heretical. 410 0$aStudies of the Biosocial Society ;$vVolume 6. 606 $aRELIGION / Biblical Criticism & Interpretation / New Testament$2bisacsh 610 $aGospel of Matthew. 610 $aPatristic authors. 610 $aValentinians. 610 $aexegesis. 615 7$aRELIGION / Biblical Criticism & Interpretation / New Testament. 676 $a226/.06 686 $aBC 7220$qSEPA$2rvk 700 $aJorgensen$b David W.$f1968-$01536158 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910796688503321 996 $aTreasure hidden in a field$93784723 997 $aUNINA
