Recently Released![]() Not in His ImageGnostic Vision, Sacred Ecology, and the Future of Beliefby John Lamb LashNot in His Image describes the rich spiritual world of pre-Christian classical Europe--the Pagan Mysteries, the Great Goddess, Gnosis, the myths of Sophia and Gaia--and its future as a force for rebalancing our lives and reconnecting to the earth. What we know about the divine comes by way of three paths—through the spectacle of nature, through the testimony of spiritual seekers, and through our own inner experience, as in meditation and mystical communion. John Lamb Lash seeks to renew our understanding of all three paths, and thus to renew our sense of the divine. In particular, he challenges the otherworldly creeds that have come down to us in Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, and to recover the earth-based religions that preceded them. Those ecologically wise religions flourished, he reminds us, not only among the native peoples of the Western Hemisphere but also in ancient Europe. By reclaiming this pagan heritage, he argues, we can begin to cure the pathologies of genocide, war, and environmental degradation that afflict the modern world.
