The "Secret Book of John" (also known as the Apocryphon of John) is a primary Gnostic text discovered in the Nag Hammadi Library in 1945. It provides a foundational myth for Gnosticism, detailing the origins of the divine realm, the creation of the world by a lesser deity (the Demiurge), and the salvation of humanity through secret knowledge (gnosis) revealed by the ascended Jesus to John.
