About This Book

The author mounts a sustained critique of orthodox Christianity, arguing that many Christian doctrines, rites, and miracles have pagan, Kabbalistic, and Eastern precedents; she juxtaposes scriptural narratives with Indian, Chaldean, and Gnostic cosmologies, examines the esoteric meanings of the Kabbalah and the Logos, and highlights alleged continuities between ancient mystery traditions and modern religious practices. The book surveys clerical abuses and alleged occult practices within Christian institutions, traces divisions among early sects, draws parallels between Buddhist and Christian teachings, warns about the dangers of untrained mediumship, and advocates a comparative, syncretic approach to theology and ancient wisdom.
