E. R. McNeile epub From Theosophy to Christian Faith: A Comparison of Theosophy With Christianity (Classic Reprint)

By theB ishop ofO xford This book was first written, I think, at my suggestion ;and, when the first draft seemed to me to assume much too much knowledge ofT heosophy on the part of the general public, was at my request in part rewritten. I cannot, therefore, resist the invitation that I should seek by a preface to introduce it to the public. I ts special value lies in the experience on which it is based. Some of us are repelled by Theosophy. But there are many people, in England and A merica, as well as in I ndia, who are attracted by it; and the writer of this book should appeal to them as one who felt the attraction so deeply as to pass into the inner school. Thus she writes with the authority of experience about Theosophy. But the attraction which drew her into it did not avail to keep her there. Like S. Augustine in his similar relation toM anichaeism, she found herself disappointed and disillusioned.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.
