"Pistis Sophia" is a Gnostic text discovered in 1773 and thought to
have been written between the 3rd and 4th centuries AD. It relates to
one Gnostic group's teachings of the transfigured Jesus to the
assembled disciples that blends primitive Christianity and Hellenic
Paganism with other elements such as reincarnation, Astrology, Mystery
religion and Hermetic magic. This volume is highly recommended for
those with an interest in ancient mythology and religious teaching,
and it is not to be missed by collectors of related literature. Many
vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and
expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this
volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete
with the original text and artwork.
