The Tragic History of Esoteric Christianity - the Church's War Against the Spirit of Sophia

Co. Down, Age-Old Books. 2001, First. (ISBN: 0954025504). Soft Cover, 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Fine unmarked copy. iv + 240 pages. As Christianity enters its third millennium, the Church is experiencing what many would regard as its greatest challenge since the Reformation. In the face of this challenge there is a crying need for a spiritual renewal within the Church, something which in truth can only happen through a rediscovery and a reassertion of the spiritual roots of this great religion. This book investigates both the spiritual genesis of Christianity, as well as outlining the Church's failure to incorporate correctly the consequences or implications of this genesis, at the centre of which lay the Holy Spirit of Sophia. For the truth of the matter is that through fear and ignorance, any real attempt at gaining knowledge of this Spirit was abandoned; and eventually, at the Universal Church's 4th General Council held in Constantinople in 869 A.D. the existence of this Spirit was even dogmatically denied.
