@romanpiso.bsky.social Your book arrived the other day! I just finished the intro/foreword/background. I'll be starting chapter 1 this evening! I'm curious what the NCS thinks of the Gnostic Gospels? All I know is that "The Church" considers them heresy (which makes me all the more curious!)
If you read this paper all the way through, you are bound to learn some remarkable things. www.academia.edu/34450000/The...
Research paper on Gnosticism. Gnosticism was a parallel religion created alongside Christianity, by the same royal Roman authors. The reason? To provide a literary mechanism for rebuttal & refutation; an excuse to advertise & promote Christianity. www.academia.edu/48955940/The...
Sweet! Thanks!!

Hello @juleezworld.bsky.social Good to know that you have received the book & have begun reading. Regarding the Gnostic Gospels, just bear in mind that all that was written for the public was tightly controlled - no one but royalty wrote under penalty of death. I wrote a paper on the Gnostics.
