Beschreibung

A foundational text of Gnostic Christianity presenting dialogues between the risen Christ and his disciples, centred on cosmology, redemption, and spiritual knowledge. Pistis Sophia, translated and introduced by G. R. S. Mead, preserves one of the most extensive surviving Gnostic writings, offering a detailed account of the soul's descent, struggle, and eventual restoration. Structured as a series of teachings delivered after the resurrection, the text explores complex systems of emanation, repentance, and divine hierarchy, with particular emphasis on the figure of Pistis Sophia and her journey toward redemption. Mary Magdalene plays a prominent interpretive role within the dialogue, contributing significantly to the unfolding theological vision. Mead's translation, based on the Coptic manuscripts then available, presents the text with clarity while maintaining its symbolic and doctrinal complexity. This edition preserves the original structure and tone, making the work accessible to readers interested in early Christian heterodox traditions and the development of esoteric religious thought.
