The
name Sophia comes from the Greek, meaning wisdom. Sofia, inthe
Gnostic belief system, was the unwitting creator of Yaldabaoth, the creator
of the material world, and captor of humanity. Sophia plays twin roles in Gnostic
thought, both as the unwitting agent of enslavement, and as redeemer, or Holy
Wisdom.
Sofia
