Gnostic Wolfe

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

No, the graphics are fun there, but the information is flip and sophomoric;
for instance, there seems to be no awareness of the central Sophia myth. The
Gnostic Library is the place to browse. Or an elementary printed text is
Hans Jonas's "The Gnostic Religion: the Message of the Alien God and the
Beginnings of Christianity."
