Pistis Sophia: The Gnostic Tradition of Mary Magdalene, Jesus, and His Disciples

The Pistis Sophia is a major Gnostic text, dating back to the early 2nd Century. Non-canonical, the text claims that after His resurection, Christ remained on Earth for another eleven years, teaching His Disciples up to the first level of the Mystery. In Gnostic teachings, the Sophia is the female aspect of God, and Christ is the male aspect of Divinity.
