We will watch portions of two videos on Gnosticism to get a glimpse into the diversity of early Christian thought. These more mystical and controversial ideas of divinity were stamped out as heresies by what became the Orthodox Church.  The first video is titled “The True Mother of Jesus Christ (according to the Gnostics),” which describes one obscure gnostic feminine deity or Aeon, known as Barbelo, as the ultimate divine “Mother-Father.” Then we will hear a more general overview of Gnosticism in an interview with Dr. Bart Ehrman titled “What is Gnosticism?”

All are invited, and it is not necessary to have attended prior meetings to participate and learn.
