Episode description
If there is one figure that was the Thanos or Bond Villain to the early and medieval church, it was Simon Magus. What exactly was so threatening about the “Father of all Heresy” – or what is because he was the alleged font of Gnosticism? I examine the Simonian theology, legend, history, and impact that lasts even today in popular culture. This involves understanding his counterpart, Helen of Tyre, a mercurial but vital Gnostic leader and manifestation of Sophia herself. More than a presentation, this short but thorough course includes lauded experts. ,
