Description
This book recalls that a sapiential (wisdom) consciousness is central to the New Testament writings and remained the mode of theological understanding in Eastern and Western traditions for more than twelve centuries. It proposes the rediscovery--or, better--a new birth of this theology and understanding but with a new scope and new power for our time.
