Jean Galliano
"The Ethiopian Bible Reveals Jesus’ Post-Resurrection Words"
Jean is an author and researcher on Gnosticism. For centuries, the Ethiopian Bible has remained one of the oldest, most complete biblical canons on Earth—containing books and teachings the rest of the world never received. Now, renewed attention on these ancient texts is raising a disturbing question: Were some of Jesus’ post-resurrection words intentionally left out of mainstream teaching? The Ethiopian Bible preserves what other versions do not—and why these teachings may have been considered too powerful, disruptive, and dangerous to spread.

"The Way of The Heart- The Gospel of Mary Magdalene Re-Visited"
Amy Gialuco will examine the controversial Gospel of Mary Magdalene, an ancient tract discovered in Egypt, that includes a dialogue between Jesus, Mary Magdalene and a few of his other disciples. Mary, contrary to popular myth, was not a prostitute but an educated brilliant. After his death, she carried his ministry throughout the Mediterranean region, preaching a Gnostic tradition called “The Way of the Heart”.
