Gnosticism, Lacan, & the Wisdom of the Serpent w/Dr. Agata Bielik-Robson
Dr. Agata Bielik-Robsonm, Professor of Jewish Studies at the University of Nottingham, poetically interrogates Gnosticism and Lurianic Kabbalah with us to reveal how Gnosticism is an essential consequence of monotheism and is deeply embedded in the Bible, in Jewish history and thought, and maybe, in so many unrecognized ways, in much of western philosophy. From […]

Jacob Frank: His Heresies, His Influence w/Rabbi Dr. Jay Michaelson
Jacob Frank was a Jewish messianic claimant in 18th Century Poland. Famous and influential in his time, he’s mostly remembered today as a cult leader, a madman, and a swindler, and -maybe- he was all these things BUT that doesn’t mean his thought, his religious ideas, and his life are not fascinating and worthy of […]

Customer Reviews
Amazingly insightful and joyfully entertaining
Absolutely love, love, love this podcast! Love the guests, hosts and everyone's multidimensional views. Great for all no matter where you are on your journey. Inspirational and open-minded for sure!
A Sincere, Friendly and Engaging Show
Talk Gnosis strikes a perfect balance between friendly conversation and serious spiritual inquiry.
Some spiritual podcasts take on a stifling severity, while others fruitlessly try to be “irreverent” and make everything a joke. Hosts and guests on Talk Gnosis avoid these pitfalls by engaging each other sincerely and with good humor.
The participants inquire of each other respectfully and, crucially, aren’t afraid to poke fun at themselves. There is a spirit of play at work which encourages eager curiosity and mutual learning.
I always thought Gnosticism was too close to Christianity for my comfort, but now I’m fascinated by this thought tradition and am having a wonderful time exploring it! I’m thankful to the pod creators for their dedicated work.
Great discussion
If you're a confirmed Gnostic Christian or just curious about the faith, this podcast and Aeon Bytes are the perfect one-two punch to keep you educated and entertained. I've met Father Silvia in person and he's a great guy in addition to the other voices you'll hear.
