Overall, Virtually "Like New". Audio Book: Cassette Tapes. This is a very good introduction to the Sophianic tradition, which has transcended many faiths and cultures since the dawn of mankind. Powell does a excellent job of integrating different historical sources and experiences to provide us a compelling account of the role of The Divine Sophia in human history, despite the historical attempts to suppress Her influence. This is a fascinating book for anyone interested in Christian mysticism and interested in enhancing the Western (European/American) approach to Christianity by considering the Eastern (Greek/Russian Orthodox, Coptic, etc.) approach. For the reader who has been studying the Christian mystics (St. John of the Cross, Theresa of Avila, etc.) this book is a fascinating look at the feminine side of God, which has been ignored, at best, or totally lost, at worst, in the Western Christian emphasis on Jesus Christ as Savior only, while ignoring His teachings on the development of the soul and the process of sanctification through the individual's Christian walk. This book argues convincingly that Christianity can only benefit by taking God out of the cultural "box" we have constructed, and recognizing the Biblical imagery of God as --masculine and feminine,active and creative - protective and nurturing, head and heart.
