Week 43, PhD candidate Emanuel Fiano, Duke University will present a paper on the divine name in The Gospel of Truth from Nag Hammadi. I have dared to appoint myself as introducer at this seminar. Week 45, I will put forward a draft about Sophia in The Gospel of Truth. Week 47 Dr. Matthew Twigg at the University of Oxford will present something, probably on emotions in Valentinianism and Sethianism. Week 49, PhD candidate Paul Linjamaa at the University of Lund will present something. Probably on The Tripartite Tractate from Nag Hammadi.

 

I will give more precise information as for topics and introducers to the last seminars as soon as possible.

You are warmly welcome to contact me in order to propose topics and present papers.
