Gnosticism

Type: Concept

As of November 2026, Gnosticism has been mentioned in one podcast episode on Glen Scrivener (Speak Life) (May 2026). Appears in entity list but only weakly detected; Gnosticism is relevant to early Christian debates though not specifically argued in this episode.

Gnosticism is a collection of different religious and philosophical ideas and systems that fully developed by the mid-second century among sects of early Christianity and other faiths. It is not a singular, homogeneous tradition or religion, but an umbrella term used by modern scholars to describe different groups and beliefs that shared certain characteristics.
