The Secret Revelation of John
Fourth course in the Nag Hammadi Series, presented by Dr. Shirley Paulson
About the Course
This online course, the fourth in the Nag Hammadi series from Early Christian Texts, explores the ancient writing titled the Secret Revelation of John. [Note: this is not the biblical Revelation TO John.] The remarkable 1945 discovery of this ancient text expands our modern understanding of the early Christ people in extraordinary ways. Written about the same time or just a bit later than other biblical texts, it reveals a side of the Jesus movement that had been lost to the world for over 1600 years. In this online course, Dr. Shirley Paulson explores the book’s three major ideas – gems – that support its healing and saving message.
It’s quite thrilling to learn that there was an important and widely circulated text that explained how Christian healing took place. The writer imagines a time when the savior (often in the image of Jesus) appears by revelation to a fictitious ‘John’ who was in despair of the death of Jesus. The savior teaches the depth of God’s presence and love, and he brings, through his secret message to the world, an understanding of healing to body and soul for himself and everyone who listens.
