Introduction to soteriology
Soteriology is a project which creates a narrative and a history that surrounds the discoveries of the Nag Hammadi archeological site. The Nag Hammadi site housed a large number of fourth century codices for sixteen centuries before it was discovered in 1945. The books that were contained a body of manuscripts from a variety of gnostic writers. These revealed more about gnosis' platonic and judeo-christian mythology than all the other resources combined.
Characters from the Nag Hammadi texts are used as quasi historical people, involved in seeking redemption. Soteriology is the theory of redemption. Within gnostic thought, like most mystical traditions, redemption is found in a state of grace or knowing.
Jaldaboath is a fallen character within gnosis, and as creator of the mundane world, is seeking to redeem himself through mundane means. Namely through a neurotic and modern attachment to the safety signs that articulate our bureaucratic environments.
Jaldaboath's work is the principle object of study within the findings of the recently re-opened Nag Hammadi site and an endless source of interest and pity to Pistis Sophia, who edits, compiles and interprets the photographs, writings, objects and miscellany of the absent Jaldaboath, in an effort to unveil the modern world.
