Inhaltsangabe

Rediscover the Mother at the heart of the Trinity.

What if the silence regarding the divine feminine is the invisible architecture of modern faith? For centuries, patriarchal theology has presented a solitary masculine monarch - but the stones of the First Temple and the whispers of the early Church tell a different story.

In The Forgotten Goddess of the Trinity, David Oliver Kling offers a groundbreaking theological reconstruction that recovers the "Mother" hidden within the Christian Godhead. Drawing on the "Temple Theology" of Margaret Barker, Kling identifies the Holy Spirit as the divine feminine person of the Trinity - the canonical Sophia and the historical Asherah.

For the Christian: Step beyond flattened modern doctrines into a layered, relational world. Explore how ancient religious reforms "compressed" the Goddess into Lady Wisdom and how the Nicene Trinity can be understood as an eternal Divine Family of Father, Mother, and Son. This is not a dismissal of orthodoxy, but a "constructive revision" that honors the Creeds while restoring the indispensable maternal presence of the Spirit in the Son’s eternal generation.

For the Pagan and "Christo-Pagan" Seeker: Find a seat at the table where the Altar and the Grove recognize one another. Kling proposes a "Christocentric Religious Pluralism" that honors the integrity of Pagan traditions, viewing other gods as created spiritual beings within a vast Divine Council. Whether you have known her as the Lady, the Great Mother, or the Weaver of Fate, this book affirms that your encounter with the sacred feminine is a genuine meeting with the Giver of Life.

In this book, you will discover:

  • The Architecture of the Divine Family: A First Temple reconstruction identifying El Elyon as Father, Asherah-Sophia as Mother-Spirit, and Yahweh as the Royal Son.
  • The Spirit as Goddess: A bold argument for using feminine and ontological language for the Holy Spirit without departing from Trinitarian essence.
  • The Rule of Life: Practical synthesis for daily devotion, integrating the Wheel of the Year, the Jesus Prayer, and ecological reparation as acts of worship.
  • Dual Belonging: Criteria for inhabiting both Christian and Pagan traditions with disciplined integrity and honesty.
Step into a sacred world where heaven and earth are rejoined. Whether you come from the altar or the grove, The Forgotten Goddess of the Trinity is an invitation to rebuild the living temple in your own heart and practice.

Open what has been compressed. Gather what has been scattered. Let the Earth be holy.
