		And the Pistis Sophia remained in the midst of the light, while a great light was on her left and on her right and on all sides, and it was a crown upon her head.
		And I brought forth the Pistis Sophia from the Chaos, while she trampled on the emanation of the Authades with a serpent-face; and furthermore she trampled upon the emanation with a basilisk-face with seven heads ; and she trampled upon the power with a lion-face, and the dragon-face.
		Adamas again remembered Pistis Sophia and he was exceedingly angry with her, for he thought that it was she who had restraned his power in the Chaos, and he thought that it was she who had taken away its light from it (the power of Adamas).

	Pistis Sophia -- An Introduction by G.R.S. Mead
		The chief business or interest of the orthodox Fathers was to select and stress what appeared to them to be the most bizarre points and elements, all that was most absurd in their judgment, in the many Gnostic systems, and of course, and rightly, everything that could be thought to be ethically reprehensible.
		Pistis Sophia would seem ~o be intended to represent the type of the faithful repentant individual soul.
		In any case, however all these very various elements and features in the syncretism be judged and evaluated, the Pistis Sophia is unquestionably a document of the first importance, not only for the history of Christianized Gnosticism, but also for the history of the development of religion in the West.

		Pistis is deceived by this ploy, and mistaking this false light below for the True Light above, she descends to join with the lesser light.
		Essentially, Sophia is the underlying nature of all that appears, whether apparently “good” or “evil,” and she gives herself to one and all just the same.
		In the story of pistis Sophia, she descends, seeking the true light, and then ascends into the pleroma of light to unite with her consort, and it is said, this is how the true light got into sentient beings.

	Pistis Sophia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The title Pistis Sophia is obscure, and is sometimes translated Faith wisdom or Wisdom in faith or Faith in wisdom.
		A more accurate translation taking into account its gnostic context, is the faith of Sophia, as Sophia to the gnostics was a divine syzygy of Christ, rather than simply a word meaning wisdom.
		The best-known of the five manuscripts of Pistis Sophia is bound with another Gnostic text titled on the binding "Piste Sophiea Cotice".

		Hear now, that I may speak concerning the repentance which the Pistis Sophia said, as she spoke of her sin, and all the things which had happened to her.
		Now when these things happened, the Pistis Sophia did not know that it was I who helped her, nor did she know me at all.
		Now it happened when the emanations of the Authades knew that the Pistis Sophia was not brought up from the Chaos, they turned again at the same time to oppress her greatly.

	Pistis Sophia
		The book of Pistis Sophia reveals in its dialogue the true relationship between Jesus and Mary Magdalene.

		This episode reflects on a lower level of the cosmic scale somewhat of the motif of the 'tragic myth' of the world-soul, the invention of which is generally ascribed to Valentinus himself, though he may possibly have transformed or worked up already existing materials or notions.
		It is this long Sophia episode and its skilfully inverted mystical exegesis and allegorical interpretation, following the methods developed by Alexandrine contemplatives, which has produced the impression on many that it was of fundamental importance for the system of the P.S. The ethical Interest.

		The Pistis Sopha is a startling blend of primitive Christianity and Hellenic Paganism, with other elements such as reincarnation, Astrology, Mystery religion and Hermetic magic.
		The Goddess makes an appearance in the guise of Sophia, a fallen angel.
		The text is notable because the female disciples of Jesus are treated as active participants in the discourse, in a way that would be unimaginable in later Christianity.
