These will be published every Wednesday and \u2013 if you&#8217;re signed up to the School newsletter \u2013 you&#8217;ll see them via email as soon as they go out.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll be releasing lessons for the new courses in small batches, just like I did for the Intro to Johannite Concepts course. This will start in the last quarter of this year:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Introduction to Johannite Practice<\/strong> \u2013 starts <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">14 October<\/span> with some lectures on a framework for thinking about practice from a perspective useful for transformation &#8211; What is it for? What counts as practice? How should you think about practice?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Introduction to Gnosticism<\/strong> \u2013 starts <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">2 December<\/span> with an introduction to early Gnostic texts, then a deeper dive specifically into\u00a0<em>Apocryphon Iohannis<\/em>, often called &#8220;The Secret Book of John&#8221;. This is less of a disinterested, objective survey of Gnosticism and more of a &#8220;this is how Gnosticism looks from an AJC perspective&#8221; \u2013 more of the theological mainstream approach we took in the Concepts course.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>What I&#8217;ll be blogging over the coming weeks is initially some additional material for the Concepts course and then some articles foreshadowing some of what&#8217;s coming in the courses. So keep an eye out mid-week for that. Note that I&#8217;m in Australia, so I may mean Thursday for you, depending on where you are.<\/p>\n<p>See you then!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small; font-style: italic;\">Blog image by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/Hk89vWuWXfE?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">rawpixel<\/a>\u00a0on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/search\/photos\/busy?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Unsplash<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is all in progress now and I hope to have it all up in the next few weeks.
