Authoritative Discourse, also known as Authoritative Teaching or Authentikos Logos [1] (Sahidic Coptic: ⲁⲩⲑⲉⲛⲧⲓⲕⲟⲥ ⲗⲟⲅⲟⲥ) [2] is a text about the journey of the soul. [3] It is the third of eight treatises in Codex VI of the Nag Hammadi library texts, taking up pages 22–35 of the codex's 78 pages. [4]
It also refers to the foundation or starting point in a lesson plan, where the overall goal is knowledge. A teacher or educator functions in this role as an authoritative figure, but also as both a guide and a resource for students. Didactics or the didactic method have different connotations in continental Europe and English-speaking countries.

When the Pope issues a dogmatic definition, he is speaking ex cathedra in an exercise of the Solemn Magisterium. Ex cathedra means literally "from the chair”; it is a theological term which signifies authoritative teaching and is more particularly applied to the definitions given by the Roman pontiff. [5]
Doctrine (from Latin: doctrina, meaning 'teaching, instruction') is a codification of beliefs or a body of teachings or instructions, taught principles or positions, as the essence of teachings in a given branch of knowledge or in a belief system. The etymological Greek analogue is 'catechism'. [1]
