About this listen
Follow author Joseph Lumpkin in his dive into Gnosticism. As a follow-up to his book "Tour of Gnosticism," where gnostic cosmology is explored in conjunction with mainstream Christendom, Lumpkin has released this jaw-dropping volume of influential Gnostic texts. Lumpkin takes it a step further by coupling the text with lessons on common themes in Gnosticism, historical context for the texts, and expert commentary exploring the differences in the largest gnostic sects.
"An Advanced Lesson in Gnosticism" offers more than 85% as much material as the canonical 66 books of the Holy Bible!
Jesus said "Let one who seeks not stop seeking until that person finds; and upon finding, the person will be disturbed; and being disturbed, will be astounded; and will reign over the entirety." - The Gospel of Thomas

Story
This newer edition of the King James Bible published in 1769 is usually preferred by most that read it over the older 1611 version. This 1769 edition is highly sought after due to being more reader/listener friendly than the 1611 since many typos were fixed.... We hope your new audio bible will go everywhere with you and be a blessing for years to come.

Story
The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

Story
Why is The Book of Enoch so important to anyone interested in Biblical history? The answer is simple: It is directly quoted in the New Testament by Jude (vv.14-15). Themes of the book referenced in 2 Peter 2:1. Jesus also used content from The Book of Enoch in many of his sermons in Matthew and Luke. In this text, you will hear the word of God through this amazing document. We will take this amazing journey together and learn why this text is not an official book of the Bible.

Story
The book of Enoch was thought to be lost for over 2,000 years until, in 1773, a traveller brought three copies back from Ethiopia. Whether or not this ancient book was actually authored by Enoch, the father of Methuselah and great-grandfather of Noah, is an ongoing debate among historians and theologians. But all recognise the book of Enoch as one of the most important apocalyptic works outside of the Bible.

I Expected More.
From the publisher notes, I knew a little about what should be covered:
* The history of Gnosticism
* Many Gnostic texts and teachings
* The role of gnosis (knowledge) in spirituality
* Gnostic cosmology and how it interprets the nature of reality
* Christianity's reaction to gnosticism
* The role of sex, gender and femininity in gnosticism
… and it certainly touches as each of these; however, it doesn’t really go into the detail that I was expecting from “An Advanced Lesson in Gnosticism.” Here Gnosticism was presented as a more or less monolithic heterodoxy in direct competition to the christian orthodoxy … and while it is certainly true that the accepted creeds and theology did respond to parts of the Gnostic heresy, it was primarily about the gnosticism found in the Nag Hammadi Codices with little to no background on what the likely predecessors and/or influences were (gnosticism has many forms that predate christianity by a significant amount, and there are historical reasons for why it was adapted to early christian thought that are not covered at all.) Still … what it does have was pretty solid if you strip away the conspiracy style presentation that is made even worse by the style of the narration … it frequently felt like I was listening to late night radio programs about aliens and paranormal “powers.” Even that would not have been too bad if the material were better organized to avoid the incessant repetition and extensive quotations without even basic commentary/exegesis in favor of some form of logical progression.
I was given this free advance review/listener copy (ARC) audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
