Creative Codex

CHAPTER

Young's Gnosticism

The seven sermons to the dead were written by yung bacilites. The idea of preaching to the dead was likely a concept that young had encountered at some point, perhaps even in his father's sermons. Young would continue to be considered a kind of outcast among christian circles though he dedicated so much of his time and energy to argue for the ben ficial psychological functions of all religions. As we will explore later in the episode, gnosticism states that this plane of existence was created by god with both good and evil intertwined. And it is also in gnosticism that we find a direct parallel to young's early insight.
