GNOSTICISM. It can be said that the underlying spirituality that has fueled authors like Dan Brown, Philip Pullman, Philip K. Dick and even The Matrix movies is that of Gnosticism. Perhaps you have been drawn to and excited by their themes and interpretations and have not known why. Today we welcome Miguel Conner - author, Internet radio host, and commandeer of the site thegodabovegod.com. His latest book is Voices of Gnosticism.

Topics in this informative and engaging hour include: a basic primer of Gnosticism; its origins; the timeframe of Late Antiquity and Early Christianity; how he came to study and create a radio program based on Gnosticism; how the sects of Gnosticism believed that we are already living in the post-apocalyptic world; misconceptions of Gnosticism; the beliefs, perspectives and understandings specific to Gnosticism; the Gospel of Thomas, the Gospel of Judas; the rediscovery of Mary Magdalene and the original teachings of Jesus; his book Voices of Gnosticism; and much more.
