THE GNOSTIC GOSPELS by Elaine Pagels, Zoom Book Study with Reverend Victoria
June 28th-July 26th | 7:30-9:00 pm EST |
Join Reverend Victoria for this powerful and revealing 5 week Zoom book study of THE GNOSTIC GOSPELS by Elaine Pagel.
Long buried and suppressed, the Gnostic Gospels contain the secret writings attributed to the followers of Jesus. In 1945 fifty-two papyrus texts, including gospels and other secret documents, were found concealed in an earthenware jar buried in the Egyptian desert. These “Gnostic” writings were declared heretical, as they offered a powerful alternative to the Orthodox Christian tradition. Elaine Pagels examines these texts and why Gnosticism was eventually stamped out by the institutionalized Orthodox Church.
Fee is donation only.
