1556 ENT_ISR_ADAM received_as ENT_SET_ADAMAS medium The Sethian Gnostic Adamas / Geradamas is the Gnostic critical reception of the biblical Adam. In Sethian cosmology (as in the Apocryphon of John, Nag Hammadi II,1 and parallel texts), a perfect luminous "Adam" (Adamas) exists in the Pleroma; the earthly Adam of Genesis 2-3 is a degraded copy manufactured by the Demiurge and the archons, who use the divine image as their template ("let us make man in our image" in Genesis 1:26 is reinterpreted as the archons's imitative act). The name Adamas preserves the Hebrew 'adam directly. This is a subversive or critical reception rather than a simple transmission: the Gnostic texts systematically invert the value judgments of Genesis (the creator is malevolent; the serpent is a liberator; the transgression was salvific rather than a fall), while the narrative structure remains dependent on Genesis 1-6.
