Asi como en todas religiones existe un libro sagrado o Biblia o conjunto de todas las enseñanzas y doctrinas que integra cada una, del mismo modo, los Gnosticos, dentro de nuestra iglesia, disponemos tambien de un libro santo, y con algunas referencias sobre el quisiera comenzar mi estudio, advirtiendo, desde luego, que para comprender los diferentes autores, hay que considerar la epoca y el sentido esotérico en que fueron escritos. Lo que es el Talmud para los Semitas, el Bhagavad-Gita para los budistas, el Coran para los Musulmanes y, la Biblia para los cristianos , es para nosotros la PISTIS SOPHIA. Veamos pues, en sintesis, lo que acerca de ella dice un historiador y veremos que Pistis eun libro y entidad espiritual a la vez.Se trata, del libro cumbre de todas las doctrinas Gnosticas, el cual fue publicado en latin el año 1851 por Scwartze y Petermann, con arreglo a un codigo del museo de Londres, llamado Askeniano, cuya vejez se remonta al siglo III, aunque algunos opinen que al Siglo V. (Opus Gnosticum Valentino adjudicatum est Codice manuscripto Coptico Londinensi descripsit et latine vertit M.G. Schwartze). El original griego de esta obra, que sirvio de base en los primeros siglos, no ha podido ser hallado. Solo se tiene el texto sahidico, que es una traduccion al copto del manuscrito primitivo. El papiro copto, en cambio, fue encontrado en Egipto sin que nada pueda atestiguar si el orginal griego fue compuesto, asi mismo, en este pueblo. Enlo que si concuerdan todos los Criticos, es en que esta Obra proviene de algunas multiples escuelas o sociedades Gnosticas primitivas, creyéndose mas bien que pertenecería a los Ophitas.

Early Christian mystical groups were called Gnostics, meaning those who know, because of their spiritual knowledge. Their teachers were persecuted and most documents destroyed because the Church desired a uniform set of beliefs to operate under. "Pistis Sophis" was the most important Gnostic work until the discovery and publication of "The Nag Hammadi Library". It remains an important milestone in Gnostic research and should be part of any serious study. It is the story of how we, as spiritual beings, have fallen into the physical world. The soul is asleep, unaware of its true nature, but the purpose of this gospel is to help awaken us.

Varios Gnósticos esotéricos han querido realizar la develación de este libro sagrado y la mayoría murieron antes de conseguirlo, como Epifanio, Tertuliano (160-245), Clemente de Alejandría (150- 215), Ireneo e Hipólito. Valentín, a quien se adjudica esta Obra Gnóstica, aunque no de forma unánime, habría nacido en el año 85

IN the Introduction (pp. xxxv f.) to the first edition (1896), the translator wrote: "In presenting the following translation to the English-reading public, I may say that I should not have ventured on such an undertaking if any Coptic scholar had undertaken the task, or I had heard that such a task was contemplated. In a matter of so great difficulty every possible liability to error should be eliminated, and it stands to reason that the translation of a translation must needs be but an apology for a first-hand version. Nevertheless I am not without predecessors. The Coptic MS. itself is in the first place a translation, so that even Coptic scholars must give us the version of a translation. I am persuaded also that the anonymous and very imperfect French translation (1856) in the Appendix to Migne's Dictionnaire des Apocryphes (vol. i.) is made from Schwartze's Latin version (1851) and not from the Coptic text. C. W. King in The Gnostics and their Remains(2nd ed., 1887) has also translated a number of pages of the Pistis Sophia from Schwartze. Some three or four years ago Mr. Nutt, King's publisher, sent out a notice proposing the publication of the whole of King's translation, but the project fell through. Last year (1895) I offered to edit this translation of King's, but was informed that the literary legatee of the deceased scholar was of the opinion that it would be unfair to his memory to publish a MS. that was in so incomplete a condition.

Pistis Sophia is an important Gnostic text. It relates the Gnostic teachings of the transfigured Jesus to the assembled disciples including his mother Mary, Mary Magdalene, and Martha. Pisti Sophia recounts that Jesus remained on earth after the resurrection for 11 years. In it the complex structures and hierarchies of heaven familiar in Gnostic teachings are revealed.

The text as part of the Gnostic Bible proclaims that Jesus remained on earth after the resurrection for 11 years, and was able in this time to teach his disciples up to the first (i. e. beginner) level of the mystery. It starts with an allegory paralleling the death and resurrection of Jesus, and describing the descent and ascent of the soul. It then proceeds to describe important figures within the Gnostic cosmology, and then finally lists 32 carnal desires to overcome before salvation is possible. The female divinity of Gnosticism is Sophia, a being with many aspects and names. She is sometimes identified with the Holy Spirit itself but, according to her various capacities, is also the Universal Mother, the Mother of the Living or Resplendent Mother, the Power on High, She-of-the-left-hand (as opposed to Christ, understood as her husband and he of the Right Hand), as the Luxurious One, the Womb, the Virgin, the Wife of the Male, the Revealer of Perfect Mysteries, the Holy Dove of the Spirit, the Heavenly Mother, the Wandering One, or Elena (that is, Selene, the Moon). She was envisaged as the Psyche of the world and the female aspect of Logos.

The Coptic Gnostic narrative theme which attempts to explain the dilemma of humanity's predicament as a realm of intelligence amidst many realms of Life, both visible and invisible. It also emphasizes the role of female disciples in the ministry of Jesus the Christ. The later chapters contain much information concerning the soul and its origin: exploring how the soul comes to birth through the Virgin of Light and departs from earth-life. The text also explains how the soul works within the Light-power and the spiritual elements in humanity, all being connected with the strivings of Wisdom/Sophia.
