5.0 out of 5 stars Pistis Sophia, December 17, 2008

By	Rosalee Stone "avid book worm" (Redwood City, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I love this book, every time you reread the text you will discover a new truth, Jesus, Mary Magdalene, and Peter are compelling in their discourses. The Magdalene proves her superiority as to understanding Jesus'words, compared to the knowledge and understanding of the male diciples. It is easy to see why "He loved her best". It is best to have a
basic understanding of Gnosticism to receive the most from the "first read". You will want to read it again and again.
