About this title

Synopsis

Notes And Materials For An Adequate Biography Of The Celebrated Divine And Theosopher, William Law: Comprising An Elucidation Of The Scope And Contents Of The Writings Of Jacob Bohme, And Of His Great Commentator, Dionysius Andreas Freher is a densely editorial, theosophical prospectus that presents a syncretic Christian mysticism. It frames William Law, Jacob Boehme, and Freher within a broader program that seeks to unite doctrine, philosophy, and esoteric science into a practical Theosophic system. The work envisions a universal wisdom accessible through a Theosophic College, arguing that Eastern and Western religious/philosophical traditions converge on divine mysteries. Cosmology is described through three eternal principles (light, darkness, and a third outward principle), with Lucifer’s fall initiating the created order and its eventual purification and restoration. It emphasizes an inward reception of Christ’s life alongside outward sacraments, advocates Spirit-led church leadership over external structures, and outlines a Revelation-based exegesis tied to Boehmian categories. It also proposes publishing plans, a Model Society, and a comprehensive Introduction to Theosophy featuring Law, Boehme, and Freher, all set within a mid-19th-century English Theosophical milieu dedicated to universal mystical reform.
