Lectures - The Gnostic Jesus

An early Christian group believed that Jesus had revealed secret knowledge about the meaning of life, the nature of God, and the universe. They became known as the Gnostics (meaning "having knowledge.) Gnosticism posed a powerful challenge to what would eventually become Christian orthodoxy. In this lecture, we will explore how the Gnostics imagined Jesus and what set their beliefs apart. In previous videos, we addressed this topic from different angles (see links below⬇️), but this live lecture will highlight who Jesus was as portrayed by the Gnostics. Don’t miss the chance to participate live—ask questions, engage with other viewers, and receive responses from the lecturer on the spot. 🗣 Other lectures covering Gnosticism: 📺 The Gnostic Gospels: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Agh7EYdLrp0 📺 The Gospel of Thomas https://www.youtube.com/live/5HaewypyD1w 📺 The Gospel of Thomas and Q: https://youtube.com/live/cHzaB401Eaw?feature=share 📺 The Fall of the Gnostics: https://www.youtube.com/live/T5C8b6Ci78w 📺 Irenaeus and the Fall of the Gnostics: https://www.youtube.com/live/Ig-qsVDA9S4 🎙️Check out our Gnosticism Podcast https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEnqfPnCRxLJ8Sx_6eaf2dhTa03GdlkHg&si=NQzhGWYxINxmQXSG 📚 Browse our catalogue of free lectures at https://www.centreplace.ca/lectures Your generous support allows us to offer these lectures at no cost.
