Definition: The word "Alexandrianism" does not appear to have any direct biblical or Jewish origin, but rather a term used by scholars in the New Testament and other writings that discuss early Christian beliefs and practices. In the New Testament, the concept of "Alexandrianism" is often associated with the teachings of Paul the Apostle and Peter the Younger, who are considered to be Alexandrians. The term was also used by the Church Fathers, such as Saint Jerome in his "Dei Gratiae," where it is described as a term that refers to the apostolic and Christian writings, but which has its origin in Greek and does not fit neatly into the New Testament context. The exact meaning of "Alexandrianism" can vary widely among scholars, with some interpreting it broadly as a system or practice of teaching about Christ and God that was unique to Alexandrians. Others may see this concept more narrowly within the broader context of the Christian community at Alexandria during the second century AD. In summary, while the term "Alexandrianism" is not specifically associated with any biblical or Jewish text, it is considered a part of the larger historical context of early Christianity and its followers.
