From the Greek dēmiourgos, meaning “craftsman” or “creator,” used once in the NT (Heb. 11:10) for God's activity. Plato and Epictetus employ the term for the craftsmanship of the visible world by the Divine. Gnostics, however, used the term in a derogatory sense to refer to the lower deity responsible for creation after the “fall” or straying of Sophia in the upper realm of deity. For gnostics, the world is a negative place formed by a negative creator from which escape is necessary.
