Summary

Early Christianity held secrets equal to those of other great religions, says renowned esotericist Annie Besant. It guarded them as priceless treasures disclosed only to a few. Besant's aim in this classic work is to restore these deep truths underlying Christian dogma, which were all but lost when the Council of Nicea limited Christian scripture to four gospels in 325 A.D. She distinguishes between the Greater Mysteries, which cannot be published, and the Lesser Mysteries, partial unveilings of knowledge, which she reveals here. Subjects include the historical and mythic Christ, the Atonement, the Resurrection and Ascension, the Trinity, Prayer, Forgiveness of Sins, the Sacraments and Revelation.
