Meet your instructor
Hello and welcome! Iām Dr. David Litwa. I earned my PhD in Religious Studies in 2013 from the University of Virginia. Armed with a decade of teaching and advising experience (in-person and online), I now help literally thousands of students gain an understanding of Gnosticism, Hermeticism, and Early Christianity on my YouTube channel and on patreon. My passion for teaching and extensive knowledge of Hermeticism (as seen in my volume, Hermetica II) make me a go-to resource for students seeking to probe consensus views and to transform their minds.
