Hey there evening crowd, what if we told you Jesus had another name?

If you called us Sethians for saying it, you'd be right! Learn about Jesus's secret identity this Friday night.

Mark wasn't the only Gospel in town.

It's time to learn about the so-called gnostics and their panoply of perplexing perspicacities!

Hey there, evening crowd! Why not kick back and relax with a little bit of historical criticism, and a whole lot of fun myths about a legendary apostle?

Africa was humanity's first continent. It's only right it should have the world's first Gospel! Join us as we discuss the legacy of Mark, evangelist extraordinaire and very first bishop of Egypt.

You've had one creation, but would you like a second?

And we know what it loves: ancient economic and political history.

Today's episode is about Alexandria!
