Theos-Talk Archives (October 2000 Message tt00072)

There are some interesting writings that concern some of the things
raised here, in the article, THE ESOTERIC CHARACTER OF THE GOSPELS,
written by H.P.Blavatsky (If references to her writings are permitted
in this forum). The article appeared in Lucifer, Vol. I, No. 3,
November, 1887, pp. 173-180. If you don't have access to that, it is
reprinted in H.P. BLAVATSKY COLLECTED WRITINGS, Volume VIII, 1887,
Pub. The Theosophical Publishing House, Wheaton, Ill. pages 172 to
239. I think, but am not sure, but maybe ULT also has a Collected
Writings series.
