The Sophia of Jesus Christ 1/2

The Sophia (Wisdom) of Jesus Christ Translated by Douglas M. Parrott This text was first discovered in its entirety in 1896, then was rediscovered as part of the Nag Hammadi library in 1945. The papyrus dates from the middle fourth century and the text perhaps from middle second. In it Jesus supposedly teaches the twelve apostles and seven women the secret about the underlying reality of the universe. The text describes God as awesome and indescribable and that God doesn't look like a human, nor does he resemble creation. It also describes Christ as immortal and everlasting. Scholars claim the material is actually a redaction of a much earlier Gnostic work called Eugnostos the Blessed, also from the Nag Hammadi library.
