Beschreibung

"Esoteric Christianity Or, The Lesser Mysteries" is a 1898 work by Annie Besant (1847-1933). Besant was a British theosophist, socialist, writer, activist, orator, and staunch advocate for Irish and Indian independence. She was a prolific author, writing more than three hundred books and pamphlets during her life. Within this volume, Besant explores the hidden teachings and ideas that underpin orthodox Christianity, examining Christ in terms of mythic and mystic elements and revealing the various strata of meaning in Christian concepts including The Trinity, The Sacraments, Atonement, The Forgiveness of Sins, etc. This volume is not to be missed by those with an interest in esoteric Christianity and would make for a worthy addition to allied collections. Other notable works by this author include: "Karma; A Study in Consciousness", "The Seven Principles Of Man", and "Some Problems Of Life". Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork.
