Pistis Sophia is one of the most important surviving Gnostic scriptures, preserved in a Coptic manuscript and presented here in English translation. The text records teachings attributed to the risen Jesus, imparted to his disciples over the years following the resurrection.
Centered on the figure of Pistis Sophia, or “Faith-Wisdom,” and her fall and redemption, the work expounds an elaborate cosmology of aeons, mysteries, and the soul’s ascent. It is a key document for the study of Gnosticism and the diversity of early Christianity. This free EPUB edition makes the translated text available for reading and study on any device.
