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. A deeply affirmative book, Theosophia introduces little-known aspects of Christian tradition. Where mainstream Christianity seems anti-nature, Christian gnostic theosophy affirms a profound nature-based mysticism; where it seems anti-erotic, theosophy affirms a powerful religious eroticism; and where it appears to be rigidly patriarchal, theosophy affirms a mysticism founded in the divine Sophia, the feminine personification of wisdom.Arthur Versluis is the author of 'Theosophia: Hidden Dimensions of Christianity', published 1994 under ISBN 9780940262645 and ISBN 0940262649.
