Pistis Sophia: A Gnostic Gospel

Pistis Sophia is a Gnostic text discovered in 1773, likely written between the 3rd and 4th centuries AD, that shares teachings from a Gnostic group's perspective on the transfigured Jesus and his interactions with key disciples like Mary and Mary Magdalene. The manuscript details Jesus's eleven years of teaching lower mysteries before revealing higher ones that concern complex cosmologies essential for the soul's ascent to divine realms. Throughout the text, a significant focus is on the myth of Pistis Sophia’s fall and restoration, paralleling her prayers with Psalms, as she seeks redemption within the material world. This audiobook presents all 148 chapters and six books of the Gnostic gospel, excluding a detailed academic introduction available online.
