To help place the Nag Hammadi materials into a better focus of understanding, the in association with BC Recordings, the Library has developed a series of introductory lectures and commentaries upon NHL materials. You will find an extensive collection of these lectures by Dr. Stephan Hoeller introducing Gnosticism and the Nag Hammadi Library at BC Recordings. In addition to that extensive collection, we have these free lectures available:
Christ: The Misunderstood Redeemer -- An understanding of the Gnostic perception of Christ is crucial to any meaningful reading of texts in the Nag Hammadi collection. In this lecture Dr. Stephan Hoeller uses several of the works in the Nag Hammadi Library to introduce the Gnostic Christ. (RealAudio format, 75 min.)
Redemption and Redeemer in the Gospel of Thomas -- The Gospel of Thomas is one of the most important Gnostic texts discovered at Nag Hammadi. In this lecture, Dr. Hoeller explores the "soteriology" -- the concept of a redeemer and the process of redemption -- as developed in the text of the Thomas Gospel. (RealAudio format, 75 min.)
The Sorrow of Sophia: Feminine Divine Image of Suffering -- Gnosticism developed a unique understanding of the feminine aspects within divinity. In this lecture Dr. Hoeller explores the Gnostic image of the suffering and the alienation of the divine feminine, using as his text a reading from The Exegesis on the Soul (NHL II,6). (RealAudio format, 80 min.)
We also offer a comprehensive collection of text resources on Valentinus and the Valentinian Tradition.
