The Gospel of Thomas appears to reflect this notion in its view of redemption, proposing a" 'backwards' creation" for Mary, moving from the "female rib into the male Adam, and back into the'living spirit." This is nothing less than the undoing of creation, expressed most powerfully in sexual/gender transformation and liberation.
