2 unusual facts about Gospel of Philip


Brethren of the Free Spirit

A peculiarity of some of the writings and doctrines of the Free Spirit movement is in their echoes of Gnostic ideas in texts such as the Gospel of Thomas and the Gospel of Philip.

:"The one who has Knowledge is a free person. But the free person does not sin, for the one who sins is a slave of sin." (Gospel of Philip 77:15–18)


Philip the Apostle

One of the Gnostic texts found in the Nag Hammadi library in 1945 has been given the modern title "Gospel of Philip", though this text makes no claim to have been written by Philip.
