Theosophia: Hidden Dimensions of Christianity

Theosophia traces the long-hidden esoteric stream of Christian gnostic theosophy, revealing a “chivalric” religion of the Holy Spirit at the heart of Christianity. It shows that all three major branches of Christianity bear within them interrelated esoteric traditions.
A deeply affirmative book, Theosophia introduces wholly unexpected aspects of Christian tradition. Whereas mainstream Christianity seems “anti-nature,” Christian theosophy affirms a profound nature-mysticism; whereas mainstream Christianity seems anti-erotic, Christian theosophy affirms a powerful religious eroticism; and whereas mainstream Christianity is portrayed as rigidly patriarchal, Christian theosophy affirms a mysticism founded in the divine Sophia, the feminine personification of wisdom.
Theosophia reveals hidden dimensions of our spiritual heritage that speak directly to our current social, ecological, and religious crises.
