The second-century BC [[Book of Jubilees]], regarded as noncanonical except in the [[Oriental Orthodox Churches]], also dates his birth to 130 [[Anno Mundi|AM]].<ref name=Jubilee>''The Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha of the Old Testament'', R.H. Charles, Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1913.

Seth is commemorated as one of the Holy Forefathers in the [[Calendar of saints (Armenian Apostolic Church)|Calendar of Saints of the Armenian Apostolic Church]], along with Adam, Abel, and others, with a [[feast day]] on July 26. He is also included in the [[Genealogy of Jesus]], according to Luke 3:23–38.<ref name="Luke">{{bibleverse||Luke|3:23–38|NIV}}</ref>

The [[Sethians]] were a Christian [[Gnostic]] sect who may date their existence to before Christianity.<ref>Turner [http://jdt.unl.edu/lithist.html Sethian Gnosticism:] {{webarchive|url=https://archive.today/20121211123653/http://jdt.unl.edu/lithist.html |date=2012-12-11 }}</ref> Their thinking, although predominantly [[Judaism|Judaic]] in foundation, was arguably strongly influenced by [[Platonism]]. Sethians were named for their [[veneration]] of Seth, depicted in their [[creation myth]]s as a divine [[incarnation]]; consequently, the offspring or 'posterity' of Seth are held to comprise a superior elect within human society.
