The East in the Light of the West: Now Available!




Rudolf Steiner needs relatively little introduction; a profuse orator, whose students translated and transcribed enormous numbers of lectures into booklets and books, the man is mostly known as a schismatic whose ideology deviated from the post-Blavatsky theosophical movement, leading to his founding of Anthroposophy.

This collection of lectures is mainly comprised of two basic parts; first, an exposition on the development of mankind in the ethnic sense (and attendant religious sense- that is, religions as discreet systems) and second the adjoining rise of various spiritual masters, taken more or less verbatim from Blavatsky, namely, Zarathustra, Gautama Buddha, and Jesus Christ. The work is a fascinating look at one of the self-proclaimed progressive systems of the early 20th century.

The Theosophy of Christ: Now Available!



This short work represents a contemporary look at Theosophy from a perspective different from that of the Oriental tradition. While Theosophy at large brought East to West, this and similar works spoke more of Jesus and attempted to re-assert the supremacy of Christendom over spiritism and similar phenomena.

Largely, it encourages prayer for healing, claiming that the dispensation of healing miracles did not end in antiquity.

Miracles and Supernatural Religion: Now Available!




This short work is quite interesting; it is a fairly lengthy exposition on the topic of miracles within a Christian framework, especially with regards to the resurrection of the dead- not just of Lazarus (the most well known example) but of other figures in and out of a spiritual context. The suggestion here is made that rationalizing these events is at least partly necessary, basing that opinion on then-modern and very real accounts of people buried alive, catalepsy, and the like.
