English term or phrase: Standing over
Cijela problematična rečenica: More to the point, standing over against all of these Gnostic Christianities was what any disinterested historian would have to call the dominant and mainstream Christian tradition, whos arguments for its own authenticity and authoritativeness were sound and attestable in a way that Gnostic claims were not.

nasuprot, u suprotnosti
Explanation:
Mislim da je u pitanju cela fraza standing over against, i ja bih to ovde prevela kao u suprotnosti, nasuprot, čak možda i prema, nešto tako. Inače ako pogledate Bibliju, to jest Sveto Pismo možete naći ovu frazu ali se odnosi na prostorno stajanje prema nečemu. Mislim da to ovde nije slučaj.

Explanation:
http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/stand over

to stand over - "ostati neriješen, preostati, biti odgođen; stajati nad, strogo paziti"
Bujas, Željko. Veliki englesko-hrvatski rječnik. Nakladni zavod Globus: Zagreb. 1999.

Meni nekako "against" iza phrasal verb zvuči suvišno ali može se prevesti kao "strogo pazeći i odupirući se".
