The Sophia of Christ ~ Gnosticism

A reading of selected excerpts/verses from the gnostic text, The
Sophia of Christ. The Sophia The Christ, also known as the Wisdom
of Jesus Christ, is a Gnostic text that was first discovered in
the Berlin Codex (a Codex purchased in Cairo in 1896 and given to
the Berlin Museum which also contains the Gospel of Mary, the
Apocryphon of John, and a summary of the Act of Peter). More
famously, the Sophia of Jesus Christ is also among the many
Gnostic tractates in the Nag Hammadi codices, discovered in Egypt
in 1945. The Berlin-Codex manuscript (as opposed to its contents)
probably dates to c. AD 400, and the Nag-Hammadi manuscript has
been dated to the 300s. However, these are complemented by a few
fragments in Greek dating from the 200s, indicating an earlier
date for the contents. Sophia should be understood in its
ordinary meaning as "wisdom", analogous to the titles Wisdom of
Solomon and Wisdom of Sirach.





May whatever goodness arises from these readings/offerings be for
the benefit of all sentient beings.
