Pistis Sophia

Pistis Sophia (Extracts from the Books of the Saviour) is a gnostic gospel considered to be apocrypha. You can find the accepted definition of the word apocrypha in any dictionary. Within this blog, you will find the actual definitions of apocrypha:

1. "Things the Catholic Church did not (and do not) want you to know, discuss, or have access to".

2. "The pure, true teachings of the Christ"

Pistis Sophia is a remarkable work, a two-thousand year old gnostic treasure left for the Seekers of today. It starts off as follows:

"It came to pass, when Jesus had risen from the dead, that he passed eleven years discoursing with his disciples, and instructing them only up to the regions of the First Mystery...".

The heavily edited and redacted Bible ends the sojourn of the Christ on earth with his ascension. Pistis Sophia, begins where the truncated canonical gospels leave off. In it, the Christ narrates to his disciples the story of Pistis Sophia, who represents those who seek the Light, the gnosis ("Pistis" = earthly knowledge, "Sophia" = divine Wisdom). He explains to them the obstacles faced by the true seeker as well as many of the mysteries that lie beyond the Veil, spoken in truth without similitude.

The G. R. S. Mead version is the most well-known.

This work is highly recommended.
