Theosophia: Hidden Dimensions of Christianity

About this book

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.
