Abraham in Gnosticism: Symbol of Spiritual Enlightenment and Divine Knowledge

In Gnostic mythology, Abraham is portrayed not merely as a patriarch but as a symbol of the spiritual journey and inner enlightenment. Unlike traditional religious views, Gnostics see Abraham as a figure representing the conflict between the material and spiritual worlds. His story, especially the near-sacrifice of Isaac, is reinterpreted as an allegory for transcending the physical realm and embracing divine knowledge. Abraham’s role in Gnosticism reflects the faith’s dualistic nature, where the spirit seeks to escape the confines of the flesh.
