Description

      
Wisdom of the World Religions - Gnosticism
 
Gnosticism is a term invented by modern academics to describe a religious and spiritual point of view that answers the questions: Why is there so much suffering in the world? How do I escape that suffering? Our approach will utilize the movie, The Matrix, to explore the general ideas of the so called gnostics. We will also briefly explore a couple of the Gnostic scriptures: the Gospel of Thomas and the Gospel of Mary.
