Publisher's Synopsis
The Emergence Of A World Religion is a book written by Annie Besant, a prominent Theosophist and social reformer of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In this book, Besant explores the origins and development of the Theosophical Society, a spiritual movement founded in the late 19th century that sought to promote universal brotherhood, spiritual development, and the study of comparative religion and philosophy.Besant traces the history of the Theosophical Society from its beginnings in New York City in 1875 to its establishment in India in the late 19th century, and its subsequent spread throughout the world. She discusses the Society's key figures, including its founders Helena Blavatsky and Henry Olcott, and explores the Society's teachings on karma, reincarnation, and the nature of the divine.Throughout the book, Besant argues that the Theosophical Society represents the emergence of a new world religion, one that is based on a universal understanding of the spiritual nature of humanity and the interconnectedness of all things. She also discusses the Society's role in promoting social and political reform, including its support for Indian independence and its advocacy for women's rights.Overall, The Emergence Of A World Religion is a thought-provoking exploration of the history and teachings of the Theosophical Society, and a fascinating insight into the emergence of a new spiritual movement that continues to influence people around the world today.THIS 30 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Immediate Future, by Annie Besant.
