"Tatiana"

- CONTENT--
Tatiana, or Tatiana - Christian movement, II century, named after the founder of their doctrine - Tatiana.

Epiphanius of Cyprus believes that Tatiana’s predecessor was Sevirus, the founder of the Sevirians. Eusebius of Caesarea, Theodoret of Cyrus, Jerome of Strydon considered Sevir to be Tatian's successor.

The teachings of Tatiana are one of the directions of Gnosticism. Despite the fact that Tatian was a disciple of the martyr Justin, after Justin's death he created his own peculiar doctrine.

Irenaeus of Lyon, Hippolyte of Rome, Clement of Alexandria wrote that according to the teachings of the Tatians there are invisible aeons, they, like Valentine, explained the words in the book of Genesis “let there be light” as a request of the demiurge to the supreme God, denied the possibility of saving Adam as the head of disobedience, rejected marriage, considering it as fornication, condemned the use of meat and wine. The Tatianas allowed the use of holy secrets, but celebrated the liturgy only on water, not wine. In this (use of one water) their example was followed by encratites.

Jerome of Stridon ascribes to the Tatians a docetic way of thinking about the flesh of Christ.

Tatian compiled a fourfold Gospel called the Gospel of the Jews, which was used by the Tatians.
