Publisher's Synopsis
The long-lost Gospel of Philip, shrouded in mystery since its composition in fourth-century Egypt, reveals ancient mystical teachings of Near Eastern Christians. Completely forgotten until its discovery in 1945, this enigmatic text explains the inner mysteries of the Church's historic sacraments and key Christian teachings, including the resurrection of the dead, the virgin birth, divine union, and spiritual rebirth.
What's the hidden meaning of "the bridal chamber"? What kind of relationship did Jesus have with Mary Magdalene? What does it mean to become a Christian? Philip's Gospel explores these questions and more in its nonlinear, meandering journey through the mystical landscape of early Christianity.
