Theosophy: The Mother of Religions

About this book

This anonymous Theosophical text claims to find the same hidden spiritual inheritance behind many separate religions. Differences of history and ritual become surface variations within the author's preferred universal system.

Theosophy: The Mother of Religions presents the movement's theories of shared wisdom, evolution and spiritual instruction as the key to that apparent unity. Those claims are part of Theosophical theology, with no basis for treating the movement as the literal historical parent of older traditions. The book shows the power and the difficulty of universal explanations, especially where one writer's system is made to stand in judgment over others.
