WISDOM'S CHILDREN: A Christian Esoteric Tradition
by Versluis, Arthur
ISBN: 0791443302
Publisher: Suny Press
Provides an in-depth introduction to the Christian theosophic tradition that began with Jacob Bohme, bringing us into a startling new world of Christian experiential spirituality that is the Christian equivalent of Sufism and Kabbalism. With chapters discussing theosophy in relation to Gnosticism, magic, astrology, alchemy, and other Western esoteric traditions, the author establishes a solid historical context by using primary works from the tradition itself. The book provides insight into how this modern Gnostic tradition speaks to us today.
