Sophia, the Wisdom of God, has spoken to human beings at many
different times and places since primeval times. Her origin in God
places her alongside the Logos in cosmic significance while at the
same time raising deep questions concerning her role in human
evolution. What was her connection to Eve and to Mary? How has she
been worshipped in the past and what is our proper relationship to
her now? Michael Debus discusses archetypes of the feminine and
Sophia's relationship to Mary, Jesus and the Holy Spirit, and most
importantly, Sophia's significance for modern, seeking human souls.
Written from an anthroposophical perspective, his sources include
the Old and New Testaments, the writings of the early church
fathers, as well as those of the Orthodox Church (especially
Vladimir Solovyov), the Christian mystic Jakob Boehme, and many
others. Basic Christian concepts such as creation, the law, sin,
death and resurrection, forgiveness, redemption, and the Christian
idea of spiritual evolution in freedom, appear richer and more
plausible when seen in the light of Sophia's connection to humanity
This book compresses a wealth of ideas into a few chapters, and
will serve many as a stimulus for further study of the role of the
divine feminine in our spiritual striving.
