The Fourth Book Of Pistis Sophia - Paperback

by G. R. S. Mead (Author)

The Fourth Book of Pistis Sophia, written by G.R.S. Mead, is a translation and commentary on a Gnostic text believed to have originated in the 2nd century AD. The book is part of a larger work called Pistis Sophia, which explores the teachings of Jesus Christ and his disciples in a Gnostic context. The Fourth Book focuses on the story of Sophia, a divine figure who falls from grace and seeks redemption through the guidance of Jesus and other spiritual beings. The text includes hymns, prayers, and dialogues between Sophia, Jesus, and other characters, as well as descriptions of mystical visions and experiences. Mead's commentary provides historical and philosophical context for the text, and explores its connections to other Gnostic and Christian traditions. The Fourth Book of Pistis Sophia offers a unique perspective on early Christian theology and spirituality, and is a valuable resource for scholars and seekers interested in Gnosticism and esoteric Christianity.THIS 36 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Pistis Sophia, by G.
