The Nag Hammadi Scriptures - The Dialogue of the Savior
Originally composed in Greek. Some pages poorly preserved.
Compilation of different sources intertwined. Monologue to disciples before leaving the world. Stand at rest [understand life, death, salvation and the reality]. Also well know Archons theme. Matthew, Judas and Mary. Several traditional sayings of Jesus are in the dialogue. C100AD. Translated into Coptic. May have been a between gnostic and orthodox belief. Myth of Sophia does not appear. Here the world is presented as a creation of the Forethought of the Father not Sophia error.
