Episode 8C - Aeons, Aeons Everywhere: Valentinus and the Gospel of Truth

Valentinus may be the most reviled of all the Gnostic writers. He was savaged by orthodox thinkers as a heretic and apostate - who almost became the pope! Listen in to find out what St. Irenaeus doesn't want you to hear. (Well, actually, he did want you to hear it, he quotes it at length in his works to tell you how silly it is, but he didn't want you to *believe* it, you know? Listen man, intros are hard.
