April D. DeConick: Isla Carroll and Percy E. Turner Professor of Biblical Studies, Rice University

"I am a professor and historian of early Jewish and Christian thought. What fascinates me is mapping the many ways that the Jesus tradition emerges across the literature, traditions that have left behind echoes of bitter controversies and competing memories. I have a deep love for exploring the various expressions of ante-Nicene mysticism, including the spirituality of classic Gnostic thinkers. This website is devoted to the various aspects of my teaching, research, and writing about the forbidden gospels."
