"This paper will therefore focus on Gnosticism and Montanism, and the enthusiasm evinced for them by some feminist writers. Behind these -isms the validity of a wider argument is at stake; one subscribed to by a number of feminist theologians, and formulated, for example, by Carol Christ in her 1978 paper 'Heretics and outsiders'. Her case is that women have rightly been attracted to so-called heretical movements in all periods of Christian histrory, since movements are often labelled heretical precisely because they challenge the symbolism and patriarchal structure of the Orthodox Church. Was this the relation between Orthodoxy and heresy in the second and early third centuries?" "The works of feminist scholars dealing with the Nag Hammadi material."
