Produktinformationen zu „Esoteric Christianity, or The Lesser Mysteries (ePub)“
The author Besant's goal is to restore the secret truth behind the Christian doctrine in mysterious Christianity. In the early centuries A.D., after increasingly strict hierarchies began to bury these truths, only a few fellow practitioners knew about them, and they communicated them privately, usually in obscure language. With the growing public interest in the Gnostic Gospels and the mystery of Christianity, this extraordinary book first published by Besant in 1901 attracted new attention.
Autoren-Porträt von Annie Besant
Annie Besant (1847-1933) was a versatile British writer, women's rights activist, theosophist, and speaker who left an indelible mark on the intellectual and social landscape of the 19th and early 20th centuries. Born as Annie Wood, she gained prominence in various spheres, including politics, education, and religion. Besant's foray into the world of writing and theosophy is punctuated by her seminal work, 'Esoteric Christianity, or The Lesser Mysteries', wherein she delves into the mystical aspects of Christianity, contending that religious truths lie beneath surface interpretations of scripture, accessible only to those who understand the esoteric symbols (Besant, 1901). Her literary style often combined a scholarly approach with an impassioned plea for spiritual and social reform, reflecting her deep commitment to theosophical principles and her advocacy for a more equitable society. As a leading figure in the Theosophical Society, Besant worked closely with other prominent theosophists like Helena Blavatsky, contributing to the expansion of Theosophical thought and literature. Her extensive body of work, which includes titles such as 'The Ancient Wisdom' and 'Thought Forms', among others, remains critical to the study of alternative spirituality and religion. Besant's legacy as a revolutionary author is complemented by her tireless activism, notably her staunch support for Indian self-governance and her pivotal role in establishing the Central Hindu College in Benares, which later evolved into the esteemed Banaras Hindu University.
