• Seth Green film festival

  I wouldn’t go so far as to call Josie and the Pussycats a “good” movie, but it had a number of clever bits and the kind of supporting players who can somewhat elevate an inconsequential movie.

Books

• Gnostic roundup

  The book analyzes the "meta-myth" or "arch-myth" or archetype of the dying and resurrecting godman as it appeared all throughout the Mediterranean and Near East in antiquity. Freke and Gandy collectively refer to the godman as "Osiris-Dionysus," as these are two of the best-known examples of the myth. From there, they show the overwhelming parallels between the story of Jesus and the myth of Osiris-Dionysus, and between pagan philosophy of the Mystery religions and Gnostic Christianity...
