Gnostics Uncovered

Valentinus and the Valentinians


Valentinus was one of the most talented religious teachers of his day, and the Valentinian school of gnosticism was one of the most vigorous and long-lived versions of gnosticism. In this illustrated slide lecture, Jonathan Hill reveals their beliefs and notions - eulogised by Elaine Pagels adn being monist, life affirming and mystical. We explore The gospel of truth, a remarkable document from the Nag Hammadi Library and probably written by Valentinus himself; it is a declaration of the unknown name of the Father, and having that Name will allow one to penetrate the veil of ignorance that creates spiritual separation -- and thus cause ultimate spiritual union.
