In Christianity, this interpretation arise in parallel with the setting of that canon. The Gnostic authors grant authority to Genesis, and various texts issued from the Platonic philosophy. Their exegesis bring a different conception about the origin of man, defining a notion of authority that influences the social relations within the cosmos. Thus, the Timaeus and some verses of Genesis, confirm the Gnostic claims of multiple participants in the creation of man, while the philosophical tradition argues for the differences among the human components. The reinterpretation of these sources explains the tension that tears human beings among its intangible components and their bodily impulses. Hence, human nature possesses attributes granted by gods belonging to different hierarchies that divide the loyalties of man. La autoridad religiosa fundamenta su poder político en la formación de un canon de textos reconocidos que se establece a través de ciertos factores fundamentales, entre los cuales se destaca la lectura exegética específica de determinados escritos considerados como sagrados. En el cristianismo, dicha interpretación se dio en paralelo con la fijación del mencionado canon. Los autores gnósticos otorgan autoridad al Génesis y a textos de la filosofía platónica. Sus exégesis aportan una concepción distinta sobre el origen del hombre, fijando una noción de autoridad que influye en las relaciones sociales inherentes al cosmos. Así, el Timeo y los versículos del Génesis dan sustento a las afirmaciones gnósticas sobre los múltiples agentes implicados en la creación del hombre, mientras que la tradición filosófica argumenta a favor de la división de componentes humanos. La reinterpretación de estas fuentes explica la tensión que desgarra al ser humano entre sus componentes inmateriales y sus impulsos corporales. Entonces, en la naturaleza humana existen atributos otorgados por divinidades de jerarquías diferentes que dividen las lealtades del hombre. Centro de Estudios Históricos Profesor Carlos S. A.
