The Letter of Peter to Philip is a Gnostic writing.[1][2] It was initially discovered as the second tractate in Codex VIII of the Nag Hammadi library.[1] The tractate is a Coptic translation of a Greek original,[1] likely written in c. 200 AD.[2] An additional copy of the text, also written in Coptic, was later found in Codex Tchacos.[3] The writing begins as an epistle from Peter to Philip the Apostle,[4] but the narrative changes to a dialogue between Jesus and the disciples.[2] The central message of the writing is to emphasize the soteriological value of preaching the message of Jesus.[1]
