Title: THE SCIENCE OF THE SACRAMENTS
Description: Adyar Madras India, Theosophical Publ.House, 1991. 9th reprint 629 pp. cloth with dustjacket. Adherents of theosophy, the esoteric philosophy popular at the turn of the 20th century, believed that science and religion could be reconciled. The renowned spiritualist Charles W. Leadbeater examines the Catholic Mass from a theosophical perspective, demonstrating how the rites and rituals of the Eucharist, Baptism, Holy Orders, and the other sacraments harness a mystical magic that unites worshippers in one divine spirit. Drawing on both traditional spiritual belief about the power at work during the Mass and modern concepts of a paranormal connection between the corporeal and the otherworldly, this is a work that will intrigue those of great faith as well as students of comparative mythology. Illustrated with photographs, diagrams and drawings. Dustjacket partly suntanned and repaired tear. Otherwise nice copy.
