Matthews, Caitlín. Sophia, Goddess of Wisdom, Bride of God. New Revised Ed.. Wheaton, IL: Quest Books, 2001.
For those seeking knowledge of the feminine aspect of deity throughout history, Sophia Goddess of Wisdom provides an insightful and enlightening experience. Scholar Caitlin Matthews expertly connects the past, present, and future of femininity, delving into the various incarnations of wisdom throughout the ages - from the Dark Goddess of ancient Anatolia, to the Egyptian, Greek, Celtic, and Cabalistic forms, to her modern representations as Mary and St. Sophia. In the Gnostic Gospel of Thomas, Sophia is depicted as sitting alongside God until the moment of creation, when she becomes manifest in every atom and permeates all things. While God may be perceived as external, the Goddess is within us, providing us with practical inspiration and compassion at the core of our being. This comprehensive work on Goddess theology establishes a realistic and relatable framework for Westerners in the modern era, centered on spirituality, daily life, and the natural world. Through embracing play and ending the gender war, sacred marriage can be achieved. The text is divided into three manifestations: the black mistress, the white virgin, and the red queen.
