THE GOSPEL OF PHILIP: Jesus, Mary Magdalene and the Gnosis of Sacred Union
LELOUP, Jean-Yves (Joseph Rowe Translation)
Rochester, VT: Inner Traditions, 2004 CONDITION: NEW 2004 Inner Traditions Trade Paperback, first American edition/printing. Translation from the French by Joseph Rowe. Translation from Coptic by the author. Cover art from a Castagno fresco (c. 1444) of the apostles. CONTENT: The Gnostic Gospel of Philip, discovered in 1947 at Nag Hammadi, Egypt, is best known for a verse that portrays Jesus kissing Mary Magdalene on the lips. Although this is the most visual image in that gospel, the underlying message, about the sacredness of the marital union, was also controversial in early Christianity, as it established closer links to Judaism and the belief in a space of holiness that can occur in the physical act of love. Leloup, who has also written on the Gospel of Mary Magdalene, here translates Philip's gospel from the Coptic (Joseph Rowe translates Leloup's French into English) and offers a rather brief analysis of the text (he promises more in a future book). Still, what he does cover--ways to look at conception, birth, and the relationship between man, woman, and God--is well thought out and understandable to the lay reader. Most of the book is taken up with actual translation and visuals of the Coptic original from which Leloup worked. Interesting read! Questions welcome/scan on request.. First American Printing. Trade Paperback. New Book/None Issued. Illus. by Castagno Fresco (cover art). 173 Pages. Religion: Christianity. ( more information) Offered by pacaritambo books (United States)

GOSPEL OF PHILIP: Jesus, Mary Magdalene & The Gnosis Of Sacred Union
Leloup, Jean-Yves
New. ISBN: 1594770220. Paperback. . Free giftwrap upon request. Brand new, not a used item. Ships in sturdy box with delivery confirmation (in US). "The mainstream position of the Christian church on sexuality was perhaps best stated by Pope Innocent (1160-1216): ""The sexual act is so shameful that it is intrinsically evil."" The apostle Philip, however, records in his gospel that Christ said precisely the opposite: the nuptial chamber is in fact the holy of holies, the Holy Trinity includes a feminine presence in the Holy Spirit, and it is neither man nor woman but their sacred relationship that is created in the image of God."
