Post #1Yeah, just a quick question for some research I'm doing. All I can find at the moment are some notable 'hunters' and that's about it. So yeah, thanks =D

It's not so much that Gnosticism suddenly became a heresy
Post #2As I understand it, it's not so much that Gnosticism suddenly became a heresy, it's that other Christian factions, which always had opposed Gnostic teachings, came to dominate and gnosticism rapidly dwindled. What became the Roman Church had argued against it from the start.
