Biblical Theology Bulletin: Journal of Bible and Culture, 2010This article analyzes the peculiar and challenging “queer” views on gender and sexuality evinced in ancient Christian Gnosticism.

From Gnostic Research to Gnostic Knowledge
2013Even though the research for the knowledge-base of genuinely scientific medicine (Sect. 4.1) remains essentially non-existent, medicine should already be quasi-scientific – rational in its theoretical framework and driven by gnostic probability functions in expert systems, with those GPFs based on non-scientific expertise.

Providence, Creation, and Gnosticism According to the Gnostics
Journal of Early Christian Studies, 2016So many aspersions have been cast upon the term “Gnosticism” that even studies about “Gnostics” prefer to avoid it. Did the Gnostics then teach no Gnosticism? The extant works (mostly from Nag Hammadi) which seem to resemble their thought prefer the language of myth to the concise, syllogistic formulations that would help modern scholars define ...

Religion, 1987
Abstract Carl Jung interprets Gnosticism the way he interprets alchemy: as a hoary counterpart to his analytical psychology. As interpreted by Jung, Gnostic myths describe a seemingly outward, if also inward, process which is in fact an entirely inward, psychological one.

The Gnostics primarily engaged in ‘rewritten Bible’: they retold and augmented the stories of Genesis and the Gospels, sometimes seeming to replace the biblical book as much as to explicate it. Valentinus practised a highly allusive form of biblical interpretation, in which the Bible and other literature enabled him to express a vision that was ...

Gnostic Libertinism? Gnostic Views on Ethics
2016Church heresiologists and many modern scholars believe that the members of the Gnostic movements do not give any importance to ethics in their systems. For them, Gnostics are either ascetic, or libertine. These statements are largely based on the heresiological works and they seem to ignore the Gnostic primary sources. The Coptic Gnostic texts from Nag

Neoplatonizing Gnosticism and Gnosticizing Neoplatonism in the “American Baroque”
2013The author traces the roots and anticipations of contemporary discussions, in the Neoplatonic, late Transcendentalist journal, The Platonist , and other North American sources. With such "over the top" syncretism and the increasing confusion of an incipient late nineteenth-century "spiritual crisis", perhaps the "American Baroque" is a suitable name ...

What does it mean to write about performedmusic? About an opera live and unfolding in time and not an operatic work? Shouldn’t this be whatwe do, since we love music for its reality, for voices and sounds that linger long after they are no longer there?

This chapter goes further along this track in ‘Women in Gnosticism’, noting that real women are difficult to find from the sources conventionally identified as ‘Gnostic’. The few that are mentioned in a variety of sources—Marcellina, Flora, and Flavia Sophē—remain enigmatic, mere fleeting mentions that force us to draw on all our resources to ...
