The author Besant's goal is to restore the secret truth behind the Christian doctrine in mysterious Christianity. In the early centuries A.D., after increasingly strict hierarchies began to bury these truths, only a few fellow practitioners knew about them, and they communicated them privately, usually in obscure language. With the growing public interest in the Gnostic Gospels and the mystery of Christianity, this extraordinary book first published by Besant in 1901 attracted new attention.
