Is anyone interested in discussing any of these texts or others?

I'm not sure how much I'd add to the discussion, but hopefully others will chime in! Everyone is welcome to participate provided the discussion doesn't turn into a debate or heated as this is in Paths. ;)

Gospel of Thomas (http://www.gnosis.org/naghamm/gosthom.html)
The Thunder, Perfect Mind (http://www.gnosis.org/naghamm/thunder.html)
The Gospel According to Mary Magdalene (http://www.gnosis.org/library/marygosp.htm)
The Odes of Solomon (http://www.gnosis.org/library/odes.htm)
Pistis Sophia (http://www.sacred-texts.com/chr/ps/index.htm) -- this one is long, but perhaps parts could be discussed?
Wisdom of Solomon (http://etext.lib.virginia.edu/toc/modeng/public/KjvSolo.html)-- technically not Gnostic, but I added it because some interpret wisdom to be Sophia in the text...

The Thunder, Perfect Mind seems really interesting. I'm voting for that.

I think a Gnostic text discussion sounds cool, especially the Pistis Sophia, Thunder, Perfect Mind and The Gospel of Thomas, there ones I really want to learn more about.

Yeah, I am all for exploring a gnostic text... I voted for Thomas and Mary.

*Bump*

Looks like The Thunder, Perfect Mind is in the lead with The Gospel of St. Thomas second.

I can start it soon, if people want. Just want to make sure people that want to vote, have a chance. I'll look for links to help with the discussion :)

Okay, I'm thinking of doing both at the same time, mainly because Thunder might not take as long. I'll start the discussions today!
