Esoteric Christianity
Annie Besant
A Theosophical reading of Christianity: it holds that the early Church possessed initiatory 'Mysteries of Jesus', later lost, and distinguishes in Christ three figures: the historical Jesus, the mythic Christ (the solar drama) and the mystic Christ (the divine principle born in every soul). It reinterprets atonement, resurrection, the Trinity, prayer and the sacraments as symbols of inner processes. It is the text that most influenced twentieth-century esoteric Christianity and the Liberal Catholic Church.
