The Authentic Logos

The Authentic Logos, also called Authoritative Teaching, is a didactic treatise on the soul's journey and its relationship with the divine Logos. Personified as a woman, the soul endures trials and hardship at the hand of the Devil, who lures her with material desires and deceives her about her true worth. Empowered by the Logos, she awakens to her divine nature, overcoming the authorities and transcending the material world through intellect and will. The Authentic Logos offers a message of hope, urging sanguine perseverance in the face of earthly trials.
