In any event, Marx-Wolf shows how the demonological taxonomies of Origen and Porphyry are hardly coherent: souls, demons, and angels become overlapping or even exchangeable categories (52-54).Yet the book does little to explore this confluence of philosophy and power; documentation of these points is slim, mitigating the promising observation that the hieratic rhetoric and demonological taxonomies in question may derive in part from the political contexts in which these philosophers moved (131).[...]we encounter some inaccuracies in the treatment of the Nag Hammadi evidence.
