Synopsis
The Pistis Sophia is unquestionably a document of paramount historical importance, not only in terms of Christianity but also with respect to the development of Western religion. It originated among the early Christian mystics called Gnostics (meaning "those who know," because of their spiritual wisdom). Gnostic teachers were persecuted and most of their writings destroyed, so Pistis Sophia stands as an extremely important, as well as magically engaging, window into these mystics' thoughts. This gospel relates the story of how we humans, as spiritual beings, have fallen from grace into the snares of the physical world. Our souls are asleep, unaware of their true nature, but these teachings can help us awaken. The teacher is Jesus, who explains life's mysteries to his disciples and Mary Magdalene. Their discussions take place after Christ's resurrection and include accounts of his ascension into heaven and his return. Using Sophia-a fallen angel who was redeemed-as an example, Jesus explains the process of salvation and redemption, stressing the necessity for repentance, renunciation of the world, and faith.
