Abstract

The article is intended to fill the gap existing today in the study of Gnosticism. Using the available sources and other relevant literature, the author of the article makes an attempt for the first time to reconstruct the religious and philosophical views of Gnostic authors on the idea of redemption. The significance of this idea in the teachings of Gnostics is shown, its specificity is determined. The ideas of redemption are analysed and systematised in the context of ontological, epistemological and anthropological aspects of Gnosticism. Their prerequisites are revealed. A comparison is made between the ideas of redemption in Gnostic and canonical Christianity
