Harold Bloom discusses the Gnostic Gospels (Mar. 7, 1983)

Harold Bloom discusses the Gnostic Gospels and their authors attempts to revise the meanings of stories in the Torah to suit the needs of early Christianity. All good writing stems from the writer striving to control or change the narrative towards their own world view. These statements, of mine, over simplify what Bloom is saying. The question remains ... "What is he saying?"
