Holy Book of the Great Invisible Spirit
Chapter:
Holy Book of the Great Invisible Spirit is not from a Valentinian perspective and instead focuses on a viewpoint rooted in Sethianism. The main contents concern the Sethian Gnostic understanding of how the earth came into being, how Seth, in the Gnostic interpretation, is incarnated as Jesus in order to release people's souls from the evil prison that is creation. More specifically, the text can be divided into four parts concerning the creation of the heavenly world: the creation of the heavenly world, the creation and significance of the race of Seth, a hymn, and the history behind the creation of the text itself.
