Wisdom's Children - A Christian Esoteric Tradition (Hardcover)

In what is presented as the first book in English to provide an in-depth introduction to the Protestant theosophic tradition, Versluis (American thought and language, Michigan State U.) provides bibliographic information on major theosophical thinkers (Bohme, Gichtel, Pordage, Leade, and Walton); surveys their metaphysical doctrines; and relates theosophy to alchemy, Gnosticism, Kabbala, and other experiential mystical traditions. Finally, the author argues theosophy's relevance to modern science, psychology, metahistory, and apostolic Christianity. Eight b&w plates illustrate the themes of "Awakening Man" and "The Becoming-Human of Christ".
