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. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Gospel   (2669 words)

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. www.hermeticgoldendawn.org /Documents/Essays/gospel.htm   (4586 words)

Gnostic Witch Bible > Appendices > The Gospel of Philip and the Gnostic Sacraments Appendix I: The Gospel of Philip and the Gnostic Sacraments The origin of The Gospel of Philip is commonly considered to be the Valentinian school of Gnosticism. A last example from the gospel on the subject of eucharist is to be found in verses 77.2-7 where a priest is consecrated because if he consecrates the bread and cup than he himself must be consecrated as well. www.light-bringer.com /Appendices/gop_gnostic_sacraments.html   (2304 words)

TheologyWebsite.com Etext Index: Nag Hammadi: Gospel of Philip   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08) 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. www.theologywebsite.com /etext/naghammadi/philip.shtml   (9476 words)

Valentinus and the Valentinian Tradition 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). www.webcom.com /~gnosis/library/valentinus/Valentinian_Sacramental.htm   (1652 words)

And the Gospel of Philip proclaims itself, in its restored and adapted form, as a message to the English-speaking people, in a time of spiritual perplexity. Philip tells of the healing of the servant of the Roman centurion and of the raising of Lazarus from the sleep of death. gutenberg.net.au /ebooks03/0301371.txt   (22328 words)

Inner Traditions 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. www.innertraditions.com /Product.jmdx;jsessionid=5FFCE84EBB0869A97F8C8EC8BF4D0A7B?action=displayDetail&id=897&selectedTextTypeKeynames=23&displayZoom=0   (1035 words)

The Gospel According to Philip K. Dick Philip K. Dick (PKD to aficionados), although not nearly as well-known as such giants as Ray Bradbury, Robert Heinlein and Isaac Asimov, has exerted a profound influence on the genre. The cast of characters interviewed for Gospel are as eclectic a bunch as you could hope to meet, and nearly as eccentric as PKD himself.

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. personal1.stthomas.edu /dtlandry/davinci/halftruth9.htm   (661 words)

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. www.ntcanon.org /Valentinus.shtml   (1639 words)

The Gospel of Thomas The Christology and Protology of the Gospel of Thomas If Thomas were dependent upon the synoptic gospels, it would be possible to detect in the case of every Thomas-synoptic parallel the same tradition-historical development behind both the Thomas version of the saying and one or more of the synoptic versions. The gospel, therefore, charts the course of salvation as a study in interpretation, providing the elixir of life to those for whom the secret of the kingdom is disclosed in the interpretation of Jesus' words. www.earlychristianwritings.com /thomas.html   (1780 words)

The Gospel of Philip and the Da Vinci Code But the New Testament gospels, which were written in Greek, only attribute to Jesus a few Aramaic words, and usually when Jesus refers to Jewish scripture the references are to the Greek version of the Jewish scriptures, the Septuagint, and not to the Aramaic translations, the Targums. Philip 58-59 seems to indicate that the kiss would have been on the lips.

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Gospel and Gospels Thus, "the Gospel according to Matthew" is equivalent to the Gospel history in the form in which St. Matthew put it in writing; "the Gospel according to Mark" designates the same Gospel history in another form, viz, in that in which St. Mark presented it in writing, etc. (cf. The name gospel, as designating a written account of Christ's words and deeds, has been, and is still, applied to a large number of narratives connected with Christ's life, which circulated both before and after the composition of our Third Gospel (cf.

Mary Magdalene: Author of the Fourth Gospel? It is further posited that she was the Beloved Disciple of the Fourth Gospel and, therefore, the founder and leader of what has come to be known as the Johannine Community. Mary Magdalene is posited as the author of the Fourth Gospel in the sense in which antiquity defined authorship (Brown 1990: 1051-1052). 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). www.beloveddisciple.org   (8553 words)

Eternal Marriage as found in early Christian writings and other ancient documents Thus we learn in the Gospel of Philip and the Apocalypse of Adam how Adam and Eve were united in celestial union before the creation of the world but, upon descending to the earth, became separated, with death entering into the scene. The charges were "not altogether without foundation," R. Wilson, The Gospel of Philip (New York: Harper & Row, 1962), 21-22, though the nature of the rites cannot be surmised either from the anti-Christian scandal stories or from the Gnostic distortions. Robert M. Grant, "The Mystery of Marriage in the Gospel of Philip," Vigiliae Christianae 15 (1961): 140, argues that this consisted in "literalizing" the orthodox ideas. www.comevisit.com /lds/cmariage.htm   (1004 words)

S. T. Karnick on Philip Saville's The Gospel of John Pier Paolo Pasolini's The Gospel According to St. Matthew was much less spectacular in its presentation, but was likewise impressive and faithful to it source; even the several eccentric touches the director includes are effective. The Gospel of John, directed by journeyman filmmaker Philip Saville and now slowly making its way around the country since its release late last year, is one of the best of these, and it represents an interesting change in cinematic approach to Biblical material. Every word of the Gospel is spoken by the film's superb cast of largely unknown performers or by off-screen narrator Christopher Plummer. www.nationalreview.com /comment/karnick200401301312.asp   (1846 words)
