Description
The Sophia of Jesus Christ, preserved at Nag Hammadi, stages a talk between the risen Christ and his disciples on a mountain. They ask him about the world above and their own origin. The text belongs to the Sethian branch of Gnosticism.
Christ explains how Sophia, divine wisdom, fell through her own act, and how blind rulers, the archons, made and misruled this world. He tells the disciples they carry a spark of the true light and can wake from forgetfulness. Dense with myth, the dialogue sets out Sethian teaching at a high and solemn pitch.
