===Gnostic traits in Liberal Media===

*The contemporary yellow journalism and [[liberal media]] often misuse the Gnostic texts or even add uncritically accepted related discoveries or speculations, doubted and criticized by mainstream scholars, in their obsession with sensational. In 1996 the ''[[Time magazine]]'', known for liberal bias, reported on the group of self-described 'experts and scholars' known as ''Jesus Seminar'' who declared to have special ''‘knowledge‘'' on origin of Gospels thus presented their own ''edited'' version of Bible with addition of Gnostic ''[[Gospel of Thomas]]'' as what they called ''‘The Scholars Version‘''. A. Boyd wrote a devastating critique of such liberal perspectives in his ''Cynic Sage or Son of God? - Recovering the Real Jesus in an Age of Revisionist Replies''.<ref>{{cite web |author=David Van Biema |title=The Gospel of Truth? |date= Apr. 08, 1996 |publisher=Time Magazine |url=http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,984367,00.html |acessdate=2012-11-08}}</ref><ref name="Case4Christ">{{cite book |title=The Case for Christ: A Journalist's Personal Investigation of the Evidence for Jesus |author= Lee Strobel |publisher=Zondervan |year=1998, 2008 |chapter=6. section: Jesus and the "Mystery religions"|pages=120–125 |isbn=0-310-29604-8 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ydVw3pbYZbgC&printsec=frontcover&dq=sTROBEL+CASE+cHRIST&hl=en&sa=X&ei=-ImbUNiSBsjusgaR84GIDA&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=gnosticism&f=false}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |title=Cynic Sage or Son of God? - Recovering the Real Jesus in an Age of Revisionist Replies |author= Gregory A.
