Over the weekend I had the pleasure of attending the 2017 Theological Conference hosted by Restoration Fellowship in Atlanta.  Below is a recording of my presentation, “Hermes & John: The Fourth Gospel in the Early Gnostic World.”  Many thanks to Carlos and Sarah for the audio/video work, and to everyone involved in hosting the event!

Ultimately, I consider this presentation to be the opening of a door towards the much-neglected possibility that the Gospel of John was composed, in part, to deal with early Gnostic issues.  Due to time constraints, this video represents only a portion of my research on this important topic, and my goal, as time permits, is to present more of this research here at Buried Deep.  So check back soon for more updates on Hermes & John!

    […] The paper which accompanied my recent presentation at the 2017 Theological Conference is rather long and packed full of information.  Since not everyone is able to sit down and read it, it seemed best to put together an audio version that can be listened to at your leisure, or while at work, or while in the car on your commute.  So I’ll be going through each section of the paper, and building a fuller picture of my research on this subject and ultimately a larger and more intricate case for my proposal about John.  No doubt a lot of ground will covered in each of these entries, so if you’re looking for a more compact version of this study, there is always the original presentation.
