Theosophy and New Thought (1916)

The double title given to this book is not meant to imply that theosophy and new thought are approximately identical. The inclusion of the two in a single volume is rather a matter of convenience than of logical classification. It is recognized that, while they have distinct points of similarity, they also exhibit quite apparent contrasts in spirit and content. Contents: Theosophy: historical outlines; appraisement of Theosophy by Theosophists; attitude assumed toward competing faiths; basis of authority; doctrine of God; cosmological theories; conceptions of man and his destiny; Theosophic principle of authority tested; comments on prominent features of the Theosophical system; New Thought: general sketch; doctrine of man; conception of God and of man’s relation to him; therapeutic scheme; some grounds of criticism.
