Gnosticism was one of the most influential and controversial belief systems of the ancient world. In this episode, we trace its rise from early Christian and Hellenistic thought, its focus on secret knowledge and the struggle between spirit and matter, and the writings that defined it. From the Nag Hammadi texts to the fiery debates of church fathers who tried to suppress it, Gnosticism shaped philosophy, mysticism, and heresy for centuries. We also explore how echoes of Gnostic ideas survive in literature, spirituality, and modern culture, reminding us of humanity’s endless search for hidden truths.New Episodes: Mon/Wed/Fri (If people enjoy, and feedback via reviews and ratings is good, will release daily)Request an episode: [email protected] History Of is your daily dose of weird, wonderful, and occasionally ridiculous history.
