From
Christianity to Theosophy
Bro. Wong Weng Tuck, our fellow member, talks about the major
theological hurdles a Christian faces when confronted with theosophy. He
touches on an updated and unorthodox view of Christianity based on latest
field research & biblical interpretations by renowned scholars. Many of
these views are now taught in western universities, which are quite
different from the theology preached in the churches. Theosophy can then
perhaps be more easily assimilated to bible interpretations.
He quotes a few excerpts from Annie Besant & Geoffrey Hodson.
