The New Gnostics

This series explores the emergence of Gnosticism in the contemporary charismatic world. Gnosticism was a historical movement that arose in the first and second centuries to draw people away from the Apostolic tradition. This seductive movement emphasized a higher knowledge that transcended the traditional teachings of Christ and the Apostles. The same impulse that motivated the early gnostics has resurfaced in the current charismatic movement, enticing Christians to a higher revelation and a shift of focus toward extra-biblical mystical encounters. In this six-part series, Phil Mason takes us on a journey through Scripture, early church history, and the contemporary charismatic world to equip believers to discern and respond to the presence of the gnostic spirit wherever it infiltrates church life.
