The Sophia Teachings

In The Sophia Teachings, Robert Powell, cofounder of the Sophia Foundation of North American in Nicasio, California, uncovers a secret stream of wisdom flowing through the heart of Christianity: the feminine principle known in Greek as "Sophia, " or Holy Wisdom herself. This sacred embodiment-named in the Old Testament at the first living being made by God-has comforted and guided seekers of truth in every age and culture, including our own. Powell surveys the wonders and teachings associated with this unacknowledged treasure from Christianity's mystical past, spanning the Greek philosophers, King Solomon, the cosmic visions of Kildegard von Bingen, Our Lady of Guadalupe, and the relation of Sophia to Mary the mother of Christ.
