"Pistis Sophia" is the most revealing and representative book of the Gnostics of the Alexandrian Era. It presents the Mysteries of Inner Christianity that Christ taught to His disciples after His Resurrection. Also, through the adventures of Sophia - who here represents Universal consciousness - it describes the history and destiny of every human being from the moment of their descent to earth, to their return to their place of inheritance. It is indeed a book that summarizes the entire ancient Mystery Tradition and preserves it in a lively manner and with a contemporary and vivid language.
