In <em>Adversus haereses </em>III 15, 2 he portrays them, speaking to „communes et ecclesiasticos”. Using such a form, the Valentinians do not tend to distinguish non-gnostic members of the Church from their inner circle, as Irenaeus tries to present it, shifting very smooth­ly from <em>communes </em>to <em>simpliciores</em>. They underline rather the common share of all Christians in the Church, even if some of them still need some deeper exposition of the truth to fully participate in it.</p>}, journal={Vox Patrum}, author={Piwowarczyk, Przemysław}, year={2012}, month={Jun.}, pages={495–503} }
