Abstract
In this article, I discuss the arrangement of texts in Nag Hammadi codex VI. While some have found the codex’s overall arrangement to lack coherence, I argue that the order of texts has a progressive aspect, as well as a development of themes, showing the reader the need to transcend worldly matters in order to reach a “safe spot” in which esoteric teachings can be received.
