What is #Gnosticism?
https://www.stitcher.com/show/misquoting-jesus-with-bart-ehrman/episode/what-is-gnosticism-304787429

How could these #religions be considered #Christian if they didn't think #Jesus' death mattered? How could they consider the #God of the #OldTestament to be a lower level and inferior #divinity, and this #materialuniverse to be a #cosmic disaster? Did #Gnostics have their own #Scriptures? Did they use the books that later became the #NewTestament? If so, why didn't they just admit their views were wrong?

#Learning recommendation:

As a #Jewish #atheist, I have tremendously enjoyed and learned from this #Yale course:

https://oyc.yale.edu/religious-studies/rlst-145

#bible #oldtestament #research

A great learning experience for anyone interested in research-based knowledge about the most influential text in human history.

Just about halfway through, it both strengthened my understanding of the human source(s) of this opus and made me proud of my heritage, one of skepticism, debate, change, and innovation.

The idea that the #Joseph of the Old Testament was #Imhotep is a mixture of the usual "Biblical history" pseudo-historical distortion, with a bit of crossover appeal to the lunatic fringe "Alternative" #Egyptology nuts. It's a kind of anti-intellectual, anti-historical supermarket, with something for everyone.

Jason Colavito has traced the historiography of the connection between #pyramids and Joseph's grain silos to the late antiquity and early medieval writers Julius Honorius and Gregory of Tours. Honorius' Cosmographia, probably written in the 4th or 5th century CE, specifically mentioned that the pyramids were Joseph's granaries, whereas Gregory's 6th century History of the Franks alluded to the same idea, but without using the word "pyramid".

The most famous woman painter of the 17th century, Artemisia Gentileschi worked in Rome, Florence, Venice, and Naples. Gentileschi painted this impressive full-scale depiction of Bathsheba at her bath circa 1637 at the height of her maturity. The painting exemplifies the genre for which Artemisia is best known today, history paintings featuring female protagonists.

Today's Flickr photo with the most hits was taken in Chicago, at the Art Institute:

VAN HAMASSEN, 1540, Judith, detail

In the full canvas, a naked Judith wields the sword that she will use to decapitate Holofernes in her right hand; in her left, she has a leather bag to put the head in.
