Books by H.P. Blavatsky
Isis Unveiled
This book, totaling more than 1300 pages in two volumes, was the first to issue from the pen of H.P.B., published in 1877. Isis Unveiled unites a historical review of religious and scientific ideas with the spirit of the quest for truth. Of special interest to the West is the investigation of the origins of Christianity, including exhaustive study of the teachings of the gnostic sects of the first centuries, and an explanation of the mystery of Jesus. The first truly scientific account of the vast subject of "Magic" is offered in this work, which has for its sub-title: "A Master-Key to the Mysteries of Ancient and Modern Science and Theology."Photographic facsimile of the Original Edition, the two volumes bound in one.
ISBN 0-938998-01-3 — 20.00
The Secret Doctrine
In 1888, eleven years after the appearance of Isis Unveiled, H.P.B. completed and published The Secret Doctrine — “The Synthesis of Science, Religion and Philosophy.” The systematic character of this work is revealed by the subjects treated at length in its pages: Cosmogenesis, Cosmic Evolution, Anthropogenesis, the Evolution of Symbolism, the Archaic Symbolism of the World-Religions, Science and the Secret Doctrine Contrasted. The Secret Doctrine differs from Isis in that it deliberately unfolds a specific teaching about the nature of things. In the Introductory pages of Volume I, H.P. Blavatsky wrote: The Secret Doctrine is not a treatise, or a series of vague theories, but contains all that can be given out to the world in this century." The Secret Doctrine is, therefore, the basic source of the Theosophical teachings in this cycle.Facsimile edition, two volumes in one.
ISBN 0-938998-00-5 — 25.00
A separate supplementary Index to The Secret Doctrine is also available; valuable to students, it contains many more entries than those in the original edition.

The Key To Theosophy
Designed by H.P.B. to afford a general perspective on the Theosophical teaching - and on the Theosophical Movement. In respect to the latter, the Key is an invaluable reference text (310 pages). The Key was published in 1889, to trace, as its author said, the broad outlines of the Wisdom Religion. This book is in the form of questions and answers — a dialogue between an Inquirer and a Theosophist — explaining fundamental principles, and meeting, at the same time, the various objections raised by the average Western inquirer. Unfamiliar concepts are presented in clear language, and as simply as possible.The Key is especially valuable for its extended discussion of what
happens after death and for the analysis of man's psychological nature.

Blavatsky on terms and subjects of the Theosophical teaching.Facsimile of Original Edition.

Books by William Q. Judge
The Ocean Of Theosophy
