Pistis Sophia by G. Horner and Francis Legge
QR code
"Pistis Sophia" by G. Horner and Francis Legge is a Gnostic text possibly written between the 3rd and 4th centuries AD. The manuscript presents the transfigured Jesus teaching his disciples—including Mary Magdalene, his mother Mary, and Martha—the higher mysteries of the cosmos after his resurrection. Central to the work is the myth of Pistis Sophia, a figure who falls from grace and seeks redemption through prayers of repentance. Her story parallels biblical
Psalms and reveals the complex cosmology and knowledge necessary for souls to reach the highest divine realms. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
