On the Origin of the World

''On the Origin of the World'' is a Gnostic work dealing with creation and the end time. It was found among the texts in the Nag Hammadi library, in Codex II and Codex XIII, immediately following the ''Reality of the Rulers'', with many parallels between the two texts.〔"The Gnostic Bible", ch 27, p431, New Seeds, 2003, ISBN 1-59030-199-4〕 The manuscript does not have a title, but scholars have dubbed it “On the Origin of the World,” because of what it describes. It is estimated to have been written sometime near the end of the third century. While the author is not mentioned, he or she seems to have been interested in providing information about a Gnostic understanding of the world’s conception In particular, it rethinks the entire story of Genesis, and positions Yaldabaoth (the Demiurge) as the creator of the world, fulfilling the role of God in Genesis. Furthermore, the Serpent in the Garden of Eden is depicted as a hero sent by Sophia to guide mankind towards enlightenment. It portrays just one approach to the creation and end of the world; there are other myths found even within the Nag Hammadi collection that have varying explanations and details〔 Another distinct characteristic aspect about the text is the perspective it is written from. It intertwines views from Judaism, Christianity, Hellenistic and Egyptian thought, and others in order to help explain its concept of Gnosticism
