Sofias Vishetsläror - Det Gudomligt Kvinnligas Framträdande I Vår Tid
Sofias Vishetsläror Det Gudomligt Kvinnligas framträdande i vår tid Robert Powell, PhD I Sofias Vishetsläror visar Robert Powell, medgrundare av the Sophia Foundation of North America, på en hemlig visdomsström som flyter genom kristendomens hjärta: den gudomligt kvinnliga principen, på grekiska känd som "Sofia", eller den Gudomliga Visdomen själv. Detta heliga väsen - som i Gamla Testamentet omnämns som det första levande väsendet skapat av Gud - har tröstat och väglett sanningssökare från varje tid och kultur, inklusive vår egen. Powell undersöker de under och lärdomar som förbinds med denna i stort sett okända skatt ur kristendomens mystik. Boken spänner över de grekiska filosoferna, kung Salomon, Hildegard av Bingens kosmiska visioner, Vår fru av Guadalupe, och förhållandet mellan Sofia och Maria, Jesu moder. Robert Powell är författare till Divine Sophia: Holy Wisdom, och andra böcker kring liknande teman. Hans forskning i Kristi liv ledde till publicerandet av Chronicle of the Living Christ: The Life and Ministry of Jesus Christ (Anthroposophic Press). Några av hans senaste böcker är Mystery, Biography, and Destiny of Mary Magdalene: Sister of Lazarus John & spiritual Sister of Jesus, samt The Most Holy Trinosophia: The New Revelation of the Divine Feminine. Robert Powell bor sedan några år tillbaka i Anderna i Ecuador.

Derrida for Beginners
In 1966, Jacques Derrida gave a lecture at Johns Hopkins University that cast the entire history of Western Philosophy into doubt. The following year, Derrida published three brilliant but mystifying books that convinced the pollsters that he was the most important philosopher of the late 20th Century. Unfortunately, nobody was sure whether the intellectual movement that he spawned - Deconstruction - advanced philosophy or murdered it. The truth? - Derrida is one of those annoying geniuses you can take a class on, read half-a-dozen books by and still have no idea what he's talking about. Derrida's 'writing' - confusing doesn't begin to describe it (it's like he's pulling the rug out from under the rug that he pulled out from under philosophy.) But beneath the confusion, like the heartbeat of a bird in your hand, you can feel Derrida's electric genius. It draws you to it; you want to understand it... but it's so confusing. What you need, Ducky, is Derrida For Beginners by James Powell
