Esoteric Christianity, Annie Besant's 1901 book from the Theosophical Publishing Society, sets out her Theosophical reading of Christian doctrine as containing a hidden inner teaching. Its strength is that it is the primary text itself, a direct record of how Theosophy interpreted Christianity in its own voice. Its limit is that it is a movement founder's own doctrinal statement, not independent scholarship assessing Theosophy's claims about Christianity.
