Islam in Perspective
Taylor and Francis 2013; US$ 115.00There has been a significant upsurge of western interest in the political manifestations and significance of Islam in the last decade, fuelled by the notion of Islamic ?revival?, the Iranian revolution and by events in countries as diverse as Egypt, Pakistan and Sudan.

Recognizing Islam
Taylor and Francis 2013; US$ 115.00Islam is more than a set of laws, rites and beliefs presented as a religious and social totality.

What We Believe
The Floating Press 1927; US$ 4.95Science of Mind in its broadest and truest sense includes the best in science, religion, and philosophy.

Esoteric Christianity

Death - and After?
The Floating Press 1906; US$ 4.99Death consists in a repeated process of unrobing, or unsheathing. The immortal part of man shakes off from itself, one after the other, its outer casings, and - as the snake from its skin, the butterfly from its chrysalis - emerges from one after another, passing into a higher state of consciousness. Now it is the fact that this escape from the body,... more...
A Textbook of Theosophy
The Floating Press 1912; US$ 5.99We often speak of Theosophy as not in itself a religion, but the truth which lies behind all religions alike. That is so; yet, from another point of view, we may surely say that it is at once a philosophy, a religion and a science. It is a philosophy, because it puts plainly before us an explanation of the scheme of evolution of both the souls and... more...
