Note 6 — Chapter VI · THE MYSTERY OF THE TRINITY AND THE MOTHER OF GOD.
George Eliot translation
In Jewish mysticism, God, according to one school, is a masculine, the Holy Spirit a feminine principle, out of whose intermixture arose the Son, and with him the world. Gfrörer, Jahrb. d. H. i. Abth. pp. 332–334. The Herrnhuters also called the Holy Spirit the mother of the Saviour. ↑
