3124 - The Gnostic Gospels: Heresy or Alternative Orthodoxy? (Beth Skinner)
Course Description
Instructor: Beth Skinner
Are the Gnostic Gospels censored materials, containing secrets removed from the Christian bible? Or are they alternative views of the "Jesus movement" which grew following the accounts of the resurrection? In this course we will explore the Gnostic Gospels and consider their differences from the notable "Four Gospels" of the Christian text as well as consider their distinctions from the traditional formations of the Christian religion.
