The Apocryphon of Iohannis is part of a collection of codices dating from the 1st to the 4th century AD, discovered in 1945 beneath the desert sands near the village of Nag Hammadi, in Upper Egypt. This discovery was of immeasurable importance to the history of Philosophy and Christianity. The collection is among the oldest known to humanity.
John addresses the message he received directly from Christ, after the Resurrection, concerning the Source of human consciousness and the true Life — incorruptible, eternal, and of Light — from which we originate, as the divine beings we are. Originally written in Greek and translated into Coptic, the codices found in Egypt — preserved for nearly two thousand years under the sands of time — might have been destined for modern humankind and for the present moment.
To whom would they have belonged?
Many hypotheses have been proposed since 1945, but now, as we reach the end of an era, at the time appointed by Divine Providence, this rich material of Spiritual Wisdom is finally being Revealed to us.
