Sophia: Aspects of the Divine Feminine Principle Past and Present

In Eastern culture, the concept of coexistence of the divine feminine and masculine principles is widely accepted. But the West has placed an excessive emphasis on the masculine principle in the divine, and as a result, the world has witnessed numerous global tragedies. Now we strive to restore balance, as evidenced by the reviving interest in the wisdom of the Goddess and ancient matriarchal religions. But as Dr. Schaub explains in her book, the Divine Feminine Principle has always been with us, hidden in ancient Christian writings and taking on various forms and names – in both Eastern and Western culture. She is Sophia, or Divine Wisdom. Knowledge for the sake of knowledge cannot bring meaning to our lives, but knowledge supplemented by love – in accordance with the divine will – brings true wisdom, which Sophia embodies. In this beautifully written book, Dr. Schaub teaches us to recognize Sophia and her importance for our time, so that we can restore her rightful place in our hearts and minds, alongside the "God the Father," and attain a new sense of wholeness.
