About this book
Simon Magus by G. R. S. Mead is presented as an essay on the founder of Simonianism, based on ancient sources and re-evaluating his philosophy and teachings. The quoted narrative describes Simon offering money for the power to confer the Holy Spirit by laying his hands on others. Peter's reply rejects the thought that the gift of God can be possessed with money and calls for repentance.
The discussion says a positive judgment about the possible impurity of the communities of Simonians and Christians is now impossible. The argument demands equal condemnation or acquittal where the accusations and the evidence, or lack of evidence, are identical.
