The Nag Hammadi Scriptures – The Letter of Peter to Philip
The Letter of Peter to Phillip is a Christian Gnostic text. An occasion for Philip and others to come together to hear what the risen Christ has to say. Akin to the New Testament. Similar to Sethian perceptions. Offer a prayer to Source and then to Christ. Aeons, Archons, fullness and Pleroma are again mentioned. Some mention of the fall of the mother Eve akin to the fall of Sophia in Sethian & Gnostic texts. Mother can also be matter.
