	Gospel of Philip - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Gospel of Philip is one of the texts of the New Testament apocrypha.
		A single manuscript of the Gospel of Philip, in Coptic, was found in the Nag Hammadi library, a cache of documents that was secreted in a jar and buried in the Egyptian desert at the end of the 4th century, when Gnostic writings and pagan ones were being burned by the official church.

	Gospel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The rediscovery of the Gospel of Thomas, a sayings gospel remarkably similar to the form that Q was thought to take, and containing many of the sayings shared only between Matthew and Luke, but in a more raw form, has given a large degree of credence to the hypothesis.
		Two non-canonical gospels that are considered to be among the earliest in composition are the sayings Gospel of Thomas and the narrative Gospel of Peter.
		The dating of the Gospel of Thomas is particularly controversial, as there is some suspicion in critical schools of scholarship that it predates the canonical Gospels, which would, if conclusively proven, have a profound impact on the understanding of their origin.

	The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn ® / The Mystery of the Bridal Chamber in the Gospel of Philip
		Attributed to the Philip circle were the tractates Thomas the Contender, Dialogue of the Savior, The Gospel of Mary, Pistis Sophia, The Sophia of Jesus Christ, and The Gospel of Philip.
		In the Gospel of Philip, for example, Mary, the Mother of Christ, is a virgin "whom no power defiled." (55:27) The defilement of being exposed to the archons concerns a darkening of the soul’s light of discernment: its opportunity for true Gnosis.
		Philip says "There is no other way for a person to acquire this quality except by putting on the perfect Light." (76:25) Restoration of the Image in Philip, therefore, comes about through clothing oneself in the garments of "water and fire" (baptism and chrism), which, unlike the earthly garments, prepare the soul for ascent.

		The Gospel of Philip is a compilation of statements pertaining primarily to the meaning and value of sacraments within the context of a Valentinian conception of the human predicament and life after death.
		Philip the apostle is said to be the source of the story that Joseph the carpenter made the cross on which his offspring later hung (73,8-15).
		The title of this text may be derived merely from the fact that Philip is the only apostle named in it (73,8), though Philip, along with Thomas and Matthew, had an eminence among Gnostics as a privileged recipient and custodian of dominical revelation.

		According to the Gospel of Philip, five "mysteries" or sacraments were recognized.
		According to the Gospel of Philip, anointing is even more important than baptism, since "we receive everything in it: resurrection, light, cross, Holy Spirit." (Gospel of Philip 74:12-21) In baptism and anointing, the person was sealed with the names Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
		The bread was regarded a the true, life-giving food (Gospel of Philip 55:6-13, 73:19-25) and is closely identified with Jesus (Gospel of Philip 63:1).

		In addition to the Gospel of Philip, it contains the Gospel of Thomas, a version of the Apocryphon of John, the Hypostasis of the Archons, an anonymous writing known as “The Untitled Text” (and sometimes as "The Origin of the World"), the Exegesis on the Soul, and the Book of Thomas the Contender.
		The Gospel of Philip was inserted between the Gospel of Thomas and the Hypostasis of the Archons.
		It presents the Gospel of Philip as a kind of garland of words, no less enigmatic than those of the Gospel of Thomas, and more elaborate, because they are certainly of a later date than the latter.

	The gospel of Philip does say something like this
		The gospel of Philip does say something like this, although Brown (or, more precisely, his sources) apparently has access to manuscripts that scholars have never seen if he knows where exactly Jesus is said to have kissed Mary Magdalene.
		“First, in the only other passage [in the Gospel of Philip, which would be the best indication of how the author understands the significance of kissing] where kissing is referred to (58,30-59,6) it is used without concrete sexual implications as a metaphor of spiritual nourishment which leads to spiritual procreation.
		Finally, the author of the Gospel of Philip, like many other Gnostics, seems to be an advocate of what is called encratism, which involves a rejection of marriage, procreation, and sexual activity of any sort.

	The Development of the Canon of the New Testament - Valentinus
		Of the four Gospels, the author's preference is clearly for Matthew and John, although there is at least one distinct allusion to Luke; there does not appear to be any evidence for knowledge of Mark.
		The author of the Gospel of Philip never identifies any of the sources from which he quotes, nor does he ever employ any formula of citation (such as 'it is written').
		For if what they produce is the Gospel of Truth, and is different from those which the apostles handed down to us, those who care to can learn how it can be show from the Scriptures themselves that [then] what is handed down from the apostles is not the Gospel of Truth.

		She asserts that this "contrivance" let the Gospel retain the tradition that Mary Magdalene was the first to discover the Empty Tomb while still giving the Beloved Disciple prominence as the first person to reach the Empty Tomb and believe that Jesus has risen (Setzer: 262).
