The Gospel of Philip.

        The Gospel of Philip[23] is not really a gospel but an apparently miscellaneous collection of Gnostic ideas (principally Valentinian) related to the fall of man (the separation of Eve from Adam) and his redemption through Jesus (the restoration of the primal unity). The book frequently mentions the five Gnostic sacraments: unction, baptism, eucharist, “redemption,” and sacred marriage. Oddly enough, it does not contain the one statement that Epiphanius ascribes to it, although the statement does occur in a Gnostic book not yet published.
