Michael Williams on the Trouble with ‘Gnosticism’
from Podcast episodes – The Secret History of Western Esotericism Podcast (SHWEP) · host Earl Fontainelle
Professor Michael Williams leads us on a tour of ‘Gnosticism’, both as a term (used and misused by ancient heresiologists, Reformation-era polemicists, modern scholars, and even modern ‘Gnostics’) and as a group of late-ancient religious texts which are very, very interesting, but which should probably not be called ‘Gnostic’.
