This is a Gnostic and apocalyptic work from which only one citation has survived in the writings of Epiphanius. He was a late fourth-century bishop from Cyprus. He quoted the Gospel of Eve while strongly opposing the teachings of the Gnostics and of Origen.
It seems that some people formed a cult (a group with special religious practices) centered on Eve. They believed she received secret revelations because the serpent had spoken to her in the garden of Eden.
Epiphanius quoted a passage from the Gospel of Eve. It can be translated roughly as follows: “I stood on a high mountain and saw a giant and a weak man, and I heard a voice like thunder. ‘Come near me and listen,’ he said to me, ‘I am you and you are me. Wherever you are, I am there. I am spread through all things, and any place you can go, you can find shelter in me; and, by finding shelter in me, you find shelter in yourself.’”
