The Elder Brother (eBook, PDF)

A Biography of Charles Webster Leadbeater

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

For all his influence Charles Leadbeater remains largely unknown as a man. This biography, first published in 1982, dispels many of the mysteries surrounding his life, and Leadbeater emerges as neither evil degenerate or infallible saint, but as a complex and eccentric adventurer into the realm of the occult. This title will be of particular interest to students of history and theology.
