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.

Transcriber’s Note:

Footnotes were renumbered sequentially and were moved to precede the index. Printing errors, such reversed order, or partially printed letters, diacriticals, and punctuation, were corrected. Final stops missing at the end of sentences and abbreviations were added. Except as noted below for Greek and Hebrew, misspelled words and irregular use of quotation marks were not changed. Footnote 608 has two anchors.

In the index, punctuation was standardized and a few page number references were adjusted to match book pages. Some entries are not in alphabetical order; these were left as printed. Term indexed as “spirit-ancestor” does not appear in either Volume 1 or Volume 2.
