Join John Pellicci in a sacred book study of The Gnostic Gospels by Elaine Pagels—an illuminating exploration of early Christian writings once lost to time. These hidden teachings offer a mystical complement to the Bible, illuminating a hidden stream of early Christian wisdom rooted in direct experience of the Divine. Together, we’ll uncover a deeper vision of Christ and the soul’s journey home.
Hidden in the sands of Egypt for almost 2,000 years, these lost teachings of Jesus shed a lot of light on the nature of early Christianity and its deep mystical roots. What made these Gnostic Gospels different from mainstream Christianity was their focus on awakening to the “real world” by means of direct intuitive knowledge, or gnosis, of the Christ within. The emphasis on an inner personal journey to God, caused the Gnostic Christians to encounter vicious persecution by the Orthodox Church. As a result of this prolonged attack, these Gnostic brotherhoods thought it best to bury their scriptures out of respect and reverence for their sanctity and wisdom, before they met their tragic end.
The Gnostic Gospels, by Elaine Pagels is a wonderful introduction to the world of Christian Gnosticism. One of the leading luminaries in her field, Dr. Pagels offers a highly informed, warm-hearted, and easily readable approach to this utterly fascinating and forgotten past.
Come remember what was once hidden. Join us in this sacred study and let The Gnostic Gospels guide you beyond the veil—into the heart of truth.
