Product details

"The Gospel of Philip" translated and commented on by R. McL. Wilson is a significant scholarly work presenting one of the key Gnostic texts discovered in the Nag Hammadi library in 1945. This gospel is a non-canonical Christian text centered around themes of mysticism, sacramental theology, and esoteric interpretations of Christian doctrine.

Wilson's translation offers a detailed introduction and commentary exploring the gospel's unique perspective on spiritual knowledge (gnosis), emphasizing the sacredness of the nuptial chamber and the symbolic meaning of marriage as a metaphor for the union of the divine and human. The text challenges orthodox Christian views, presenting alternative views on resurrection, the nature of Christ, and the soul's journey.

The gospel is rich with symbolic language and references to scripture, including allusions to the Synoptic Gospels and Pauline epistles, but is imbued with distinctly Gnostic theology. Wilson highlights the gospel as a collection of diverse materials reflecting early Christian and Gnostic-Christian traditions.
