For several years, Miguel Conner has engaged the most prominent writers and scholars on Gnosticism and early Christianity on Aeon Byte Gnostic Radio. These interviews with 13 leading scholars represent one of the best ways to get to know ancient Gnosticism, the movement that has inspired Dan Brown, Philip Pullman, Philip K. Dick and The Matrix movies. Read what the best minds have to say about the Gnostic sects, the Gospel of Thomas, the Gospel of Judas, Mary Magdalene, heresy, the origins of Gnosticism, and the original teachings of Jesus.

I'm being interviewed on Rumor Mill News tomorrow 11am to 2pm
pacific time, 2 to 5 eastern. (from 7PM my time). It's a three hour interview so I'd better find plenty to talk about! My subject is The Gnostic journal plus Gnosticism in general. After two and a half hours I'll probably be talking about the weather.

Aeon Byte Interview

noreply@blogger.com (Andrew Phillip Smith) — Fri, 08 Oct 2010 09:34:00 +0000

I'm discussing issue 3 of The Gnostic and various sundries with Miguel Conner this weekend at Aeon Byte Gnostic Radio.
http://www.aeonbytegnosticradio.com/2010/10/gnostic-magazine-issue-3.html

I've done several interviews with Miguel over the years and apparently I'm now his most-interviewed guest. We talk about the contents of the new issue and discuss some of the articles and bounce ideas off each other. The interview is free all weekend and purchasable for a small cost afterwards.

After five years my previous blog, which I began as I was working on my Gospel of Philip book, fizzled out, helped along by Blogger's refusal to publish by ftp. Now I have two blogs, this one, which is purely for news of publications, events and developments related to the books I write, edit or publish, and a separate blog for musings on this, that and the other related to Gnosticism, other spirituality, literature, music, and whatever else takes my fancy. The Gnostic focus of the previous blog was getting a bit limiting.

My other newblog is The Eye Altering Alters All (a quote from Blake) http://eyealtering.bardic-press.com/
