James McGrath of Butler University joins us once again to explain how scholars deal with the figure of Jesus. Is there a vast international conspiracy to convince you that Jesus was a real person? Well, not really. It’s a game of probabilities. Scholars say that, given the evidence we have, it’s more likely than not that there was an actual dude named Jesus walking around in the desert 2000 years ago. Of course, you are free to draw your own conclusions, and a belief in Gnosticism certainly does not need to include a belief in a historical Jesus. https://archive.org/download/FinalAudioTalkGnosisAfterDark071/Final%20Audio%20Talk%20Gnosis%20After%20Dark%20071.mp3 Support us on Patreon and you can watch this podcast as a video!

Dr. Michael Kaler of the University of Toronto has a really great handle on the writings of Paul, and we were really lucky to receive the benefit of his expertise. Paul never met Jesus, but he sure had a lot to say about him. We discuss the context of Paul’s writings, Simon Magus as Paul, Marcion, and more. https://archive.org/download/FinalAudioTalkGnosisAfterDark70/Final%20Audio%20Talk%20Gnosis%20After%20Dark%2070.mp3 Support us on Patreon and you can watch this podcast as a video!

In the continuation of our interesting conversation with Arthur Goldwag, conspiracy theory researcher, we discuss the origins of conspiracy theories, among other things.

Boy howdy did we have a ton of technical issues with this episode, however, we made it through and had a wonderful conversation with the illustrious Andrew Phillip Smith about the Cathars, his new book (The Lost Teachings of the Cathars), the new edition of the definitive history of the Gnostics, now called The Secret History of the Gnostics, and some of his other projects. He’s really done a lot for the modern Gnostic community, and it was great to finally get to talk to him. https://archive.org/download/TalkGnosisAfterDark063FinalAudio/Talk%20Gnosis%20After%20Dark%20063%20Final%20Audio.mp3 Support us on Patreon and you can watch this podcast as a video!
