- Title
La metafísica platónica en los fundamentos del dualismo religioso. Una exégesis valentiniana del "prólogo" de San Juan.

- Abstract
The purpose of the article is to show that the foundations of a dualistic theology of Christian roots are found in the point of connection between platonic metaphysics, gnostic myths and exegesis. It highlights the way in which platonic metaphysics was developed in a completely different way than what is known as "Metaphysics of Exodus". It considers that myth -as an expressive vehicle of religious experience and having a polyvalent logic- was a decisive element for the transmission of gnostic tradition. Thus, the article concentrates on the gnostic understanding of "The Prologue of John", which focuses on the Christological function of Jesus, bearing in mind the difficulties involved in the indifference with which this tradition dealt with Incarnation. The tools for the exegesis are taken from Hellenic tradition as a form to clarify the gnostic intuition concerning the stages of the propagation of the divine, both before and after the Fall.
