The 'Pistis Sophia' is arguably the most important Gnostic document
we possess. Dated as early as the second century AD, this Coptic
manuscript was found in Egypt and, until the discovery of the Nag
Hammadi Library, constituted the major source of unbiased knowledge
on the Gnostic faith. This ancient text relates that Jesus remained
in the world for a further eleven years after his resurrection, and
taught his disciples the secret doctrine of initiation, in
obedience to the Divine Will, which instructed Him to reveal the
highest mysteries of salvation to humanity. The book is remarkable
for its deeply mystical teaching, its description of the spiritual
hierarchies, its belief in reincarnation, and the comprehensive
account it gives of the ascent and descent of the human soul. It is
an extraordinarily comprehensive body of doctrine and, among a host
of other insights, grants us a new perspective on Baptism, the
Psalms, the role of women in the church, and the basic teachings of
the New Testament.
