description About

Mythologist and author John Lamb Lash examines the ancient gnostic religion and explores its relevance to contemporary times in this fascinating program. The gnostic belief system revolved around the goddess Sophia and a reverence for the earth. Lash contrasts these views -- an element of the current Gaia theory -- with the patriarchal religions that followed and also discusses the gnostic viewpoint on destructive forces labeled archons.
