The Gospel of Philip (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9791281154766)

The Gospel according to PhilipIt is a Gnostic gospel,
probably of the Valentinian school, written in Coptic in the
second half of the 2nd century, probably from a lost Gre-
ek original. The pseudepigraphic attribution is to Philip the
Apostle. It contains some sayings of Jesus, and pays particu-
lar attention to the teachings on the sacraments, to which it
adds that of the "bridal chamber."
Lost with the extinction of Gnosticism, not mentioned
by the Fathers of the Church, a thirty-five page manuscript
dating back to the 4th century was found in 1945 among the
codices of Nag Hammadi (codice II, tractate 3)
