The first edition of this book was published in 1901. Esoteric Christianity has elements of what I would associate with Eastern Religions. I keep telling my daughter that New Age is really Old Age!

This an interesting look into the mystical side of christianity . The author had originally written her book at the begining of the 1900's which makes this a difficult read . It offers alot of information to think about . Its a good starting point for anyone interested in early thoughts on christian mysticism . (
