	Apocryphon of John (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Using the framework of a revelation delivered by the resurrected Christ to John the son of Zebedee, this tractate offers a remarkably clear description of the creation, fall, and salvation of humanity; the mythological description is developed largely in terms of the early chapters of Genesis.
		Reports of the church fathers indicate that some of them were familiar with the contents of The Apocryphon of John: the teachings of certain Gnostics described by Irenaeus are very similar to the cosmological teachings of the present tractate.
		The Apocryphon of John was still used in the eighth century by the Audians of Mesopotamia.

		In the apocryphal story of apostle John (the Apocryphon of John) there is a description of creation of the world and the person (man), and there is a description of Gnostic representations about the unique true God and Holy Spirit and the unique Son of the God.
		Further in the Apocryphon of John it is written that four created lights have formed 12 aeons which began to belong to the one who is the Son of the invisible Spirit and who is the spark of light which has been given birth from the light of Pronoia of the invisible Spirit.
		The problem consists that in the Apocryphon of John is a lot of words of the Greek origin (it is possible to assume that apostle John spoke in the Greek language after christening by Holy Spirit).

	Apocryphon of John star jones wedding Apocryphon of John
		The Secret Book of John (Apocryphon of John) is a 2nd century gnostic text of secret teachings, given a Christian context: "the teaching of the savior, and the revelation of the mysteries and the things hidden in silence, even these things which he taught John, his disciple", are its opening words.
		John is immediately specified as "John, the brother of James— who are the sons of Zebedee."
		Two of the versions are very similar and represent one manuscript tradition; they incorporate a lengthy excerpt from a certain Book of Zoroaster appended to the Apocryphon (as chapters 15:29 – 19:8f) A shorter version of the Apocryphon from Nag Hammadi does not contain the interpolation and represents a second manuscript tradition.

	The Community of John
		In John, Judaism, which decided against Jesus, and its metropolis, in which Jesus was crucified, becomes the symbol of unbelief and hostility towards the Son of God and the event of Christ’s death becomes a conflict of fundamental importance between belief and unbelief or between God and the world.
		If John addressed himself to the yearning by his contemporaries for salvation and even took account of the Gnostic redeemer-myth, we need to consider the meaning of human existence and human history in light of this Son Christology.
		For John, the hard heart are the Pharisaic and rabbinical ruling groups of the Judaism of his day, and their hardness of heart is the culmination of all Jewish rejection of God, though at the same time the paradigm case of all human blindness, because they did not believe in the revealer accredited by God.

		The most complete version is in The Apocryphon of John, found in three drafts in the NHL and also in a non-NHL source, the Berlin Codex.
		The Apocryphon of John describes how the Aeon Sophia hides the chief Archon in a luminous cloud, so that the Pleroma does not see the "abortion" she has unwittingly produced.
		The Apocryphon of John (II, 10, 24-25) describes how the Lord Archon "produced for himself cyclic worlds (orbiting bodies) from the luminous spark that still shines in the sky." Thus, he draws upon the vortex power of the central star, the newborn Sun, to organize the matter swirling in the proto-planetary disk.

		Narrative and Cosmology in the Apocryphon of John
		The object of study is the cosmological model of the Apocryphon of John, a first-hand and fully narrated version of the Gnostic myth.
		The author examines his target text against a complex background of religious and philosophical systems, literary theories, and rhetorical techniques of the period, and argues that the world model of the Apocryphon of John is inseparable from the epistemological, theological, and aesthetic debates within contemporary Platonism.

		Much of what we know before the creation of the material world and Adam, can be found in the text, titled The Apocryphon of John, is a revelation of Jesus to John, son of Zebedee, who was said to have written this down.
		However the fruit of truth would allow them to see the truth, so Jesus told John, and that it was he who brought them the apples to eat, not any serpent (like they say in the Genesis).

		In The Apocryphon of John (an excellent translation is found in Bentley Layton's Gnostic Scriptures, and also in Barnstone/Meyer's Gnostic Bible) there are glimpses of the wholesomeness and goodness of the Divine Fullness which are contrasted with the nature of experience of Lack.
		The impulses to action that arise from this world, the flesh, and the activation of our psyche/soul in this cosmos of lack, can be contrasted with the examples of spiritual desire and will in the Spiritual reality beyond this world.
		The Apocryphon of John deals repeatedly with this theme.

		I read a set of wonderful Gnostic texts, two "secret books" so-called: the "Apocryphon of John" and the "Apocryphon of James" (this could be translated "secret book of John" and "secret book of James").
		Ultimately God is far more than just an "Overmind." "The One," as the Apocryphon of John calls God, is even far transcendent of whatever we can conceive of in using the term "God." Gnosis, as I have said, is not intellectual knowledge, but rather relational knowledge.
		I would have to say it is a toss-up between two of the Nag Hammadi texts: the Apocryphon of James and the Gospel of Philip.
