Suddenly it seems that pop culture has fallen in love with all things Gnostic. Scholarly translations and commentaries of the Gnostic Gospels and other Gnostic texts are now published for a mainstream audience. Gnostic influences certainly have emerged in artistic creations belonging to other centuries; however, today Gnostic elements and themes are showing up in mass-market books, movies, television shows, comics, cartoons, and music. And while some observers of pop culture declare that it's only a fad, others say it's here to stay.
