An indispensable source of reference for anyone wanting to learn more about the Sophianic movement. Schipflinger collected the material for this book over two decades. He traces Her throughout history: in scripture, art and literature, in the writing of Sophia scholars, in Russian iconography and architecture; and in the images and incarnations of Sophia in Eastern traditions. Translated by James Morgante. Afterword by Robert Powell. 35 color illustrations. Bibliography. Index. Extensively illustrated with over 50 illustrations, this veritable Sophianic encyclopedia traces Sophia, the Greek goddess of wisdom, in scripture, art and literature, Russian iconology and architecture, and in the images of Buddhism and Hinduism. The common thread is the connection between Sophia and the Virgin Mary, physical manifestation of the Divine Feminine.
