God, the Bible, Truth and Christian Theology

About this book

The same biblical passage can sound entirely different when read by an occult publisher. L. W. de Laurence looks for hidden significance in Christian teachings and places familiar religious language within his own esoteric outlook.

The work reflects the religious mixture characteristic of the de Laurence catalogue, where scripture circulated alongside manuals of magnetism, divination and practical magic. Its interpretations should be approached as the author's theology, with particular attention to the way authority is drawn from sacred text. The tensions between inherited Christian vocabulary and newly assembled occult ideas are central to the book's interest.
