Morse’s The Divine Spark Within joins with earlier explorations of Sophia and Christ as liberating presences. Like Sergei Bulgakov’s Sophia, the Wisdom of God  (1937), Morse grounds Sophia as the mediating Wisdom of God whose presence saturates creation, yet he extends this vision into a contemporary ecological and political horizon. His emphasis on the “Deep Christ” as the liberator of humanity resonates with Matthew Fox’s The Coming of the Cosmic Christ (1988), yet Morse places greater stress on the confrontation with archonic systems of domination, echoing the cosmic struggle articulated in the Nag Hammadi texts. In conversation with feminist theologians such as Elizabeth Johnson (She Who Is, 1992) and Rosemary Radford Ruether (Gaia & God, 1992), Morse affirms Sophia as a corrective to patriarchal theology, but his unique contribution lies in integrating this with psychological depth work and the praxis of grassroots democratic renewal through his Semi-Autonomous Communities Project. In this way, The Divine Spark Within can be seen as both a continuation of and a fresh expansion upon the sophiological-liberationist tradition: one that reads the Sophia–Christ drama not only as theological myth but as a living template for humanity’s emancipation from psychological, social, civilizational, and cosmic oppression.
