About the Course
This online course, the fourth in the Nag Hammadi series from Early Christian Texts, explores the ancient writing titled the Secret Revelation of John. [Note: this is not the biblical Revelation TO John.] The remarkable 1945 discovery of this ancient text expands our modern understanding of the early Christ people in extraordinary ways. Written about the same time or just a bit later than other biblical texts, it reveals a side of the Jesus movement that had been lost to the world for over 1600 years. In this online course, Dr. Shirley Paulson explores the book’s three major ideas – gems – that support its healing and saving message.
It’s quite thrilling to learn that there was an important and widely circulated text that explained how Christian healing took place. The writer imagines a time when a disciple such as John might have been in despair over the loss of Jesus, when a savior in the image of Jesus, appears to offer hope and encouragement. He brings a message of healing to body and soul, and the fictitious ‘John’ brings the secret message to the world.
