WRITER AND SPEAKER J. Michael Matkin, author of “The Complete Idiot’s Guide to the Gnostic Gospels” and “The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Early Christianity,” spoke Thursday night at McAlester Public Library. Matkin’s presentation covered the gnostic traditions in several cultures, the discoveries of the texts, and brief overviews of the Gospels of Thomas, Phillip, Mary and the Egyptians and the Gospel of Truth. He also spoke of the purported “Q” document. The audience of about 20 had a variety of questions for the author.
