Monday Afternoons 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM
After a review of Gnosticism in the Early Church, our focus will be on the lost Gospels found at Nag Hammadi in Egypt – Gospels that never made the Canon of the New Testament. What were the secret teachings of Jesus? We will examine the texts of the Gospel of Thomas, the Gospel of Mary Magdelene, the Gospel of Judas, the Gospel of Philip and the Gospel of Truth. We will also examine the meaning of Gnosticism in the work of Carl G. Jung and the impact of Gnosticism in our world today.
