From the re-imagining of the Jewish creation story to ritual practices, Gnosticism owes a great debt to Judaism. However, there is also a legacy of antisemitism in Gnosticism and Christianity in general which we can’t ignore. We talk about the demiurge, the remixing of Jewish scripture, as well as kabbalah, merkabah, and the ascent practices that we share in common.

Is there a vast international conspiracy to convince you that Jesus was a real person? Well, not really. It’s a game of probabilities. Scholars say that, given the evidence we have, it’s more likely than not that there was an actual dude named Jesus walking around in the desert 2000 years ago. Of course, you are free to draw your own conclusions, and a belief in Gnosticism certainly does not need to include a belief in a historical Jesus.
2016-04-0800 minTalk GnosisPaul’s Gnostic LegacyDr. Michael Kaler of the University of Toronto has a really great handle on the writings of Paul, and we were really lucky to receive the benefit of his expertise. Paul never met Jesus, but he sure had a lot to say about him. We discuss the context of Paul’s writings, Simon Magus as Paul, Marcion, and more.
