Season 2, Episode 3: The Secret Pod of Yaldabaoth - a podcast by Klaus Yoder & Travis Stevens
from 2023-12-13T16:00:10.652541
This week Travis and Klaus discuss Gnosticism and try to make sense of the confusing religious landscape of the 2nd century CE. In the course of their conversation, they explore yet another re-imagining of the book of Genesis, the role of demons in the creation of the world & humanity, and consider how Gnostic demonology helps us think about the problem of evil in Christianity.
