It’s always an enlightening pleasure when Dr David Litwa graces the Virtual Alexandria. This cycle, he’ll discuss his new book, The Naassenes: Exploring an Early Christian Identity. Who were these serpent Christians who syncretically placed Jesus alongside other saviors like Hermes, Attis, and Osiris? What were their arcane beliefs and rituals, and how do their theologies compare to other Gnostic sects? From ancient Egyptian mysteries to Hellenistic theurgy, get ready to understand a movement that represented the best that mysticism offered in Greco-Roman times.
