Product details

The Gospel of Philip is a Gnostic Christian text discovered among the Nag Hammadi library, attributed to early Valentinian thinkers rather than the Apostle Philip. It differs from canonical gospels in being a collection of mystical sayings and theological reflections rather than a narrative of Jesus's life.

R. McL Wilson's translation and commentary describe the Gospel of Philip as focusing on spiritual themes such as:

The restoration of humanity's original androgynous nature before the division of the sexes.

The concept of the "Bridal Chamber," a sacrament symbolizing the union of opposites and entry into a transcendent, sexless state.

Four other sacraments: baptism, Eucharist, chrism (anointing with oil for immortality), and ransom.

The resurrection as a spiritual experience attainable before physical death.

The stark contrast between the sacred realm of enlightenment and the profane world of error, ignorance, and captivity.

A temple metaphor where initiation into sacred knowledge and eternal life occurs.

The importance of knowledge, faith, hope, and love as transformative spiritual elements.

Key Features

The text uses symbolic language to describe Gnostic cosmology and soteriology, emphasizing knowledge (gnosis) as the path to spiritual freedom and unity with the divine. It views the material world as fallen and misleading, while salvation involves ascension into the spiritual "aeon."
