Wisdom's Children

A Christian Esoteric Tradition

by Arthur Versluis

A history of the Christian theosophical current that grew from Jacob Boehme, following his readers in Germany, England and America from the seventeenth to the twentieth century. Versluis gives particular attention to Gichtel, Pordage, Jane Lead and the practical spirituality of the theosophers, presenting them as a coherent tradition of Christian gnosis.
