Art of the Gnostic Gospels

Sophia Gives Birth to Life

"The power which overflowed from the Woman…fell from above [and] came down directly upon the waters, when they were motionless, and set them in motion, moving boldly as far as the abysses; and it took a body for itself from them."

(St. Iranaeus of Lyon, Against Heresies: The Sethian-Ophites, from Willis Barnstone’s The Other Bible, p.661, pub. A.D.1984)
