Excerpt from Essays in Logos and Gnosis: Mainly in Relation to the Neo-Buddhist Theosophy This little book consists mainly of two dissertations or theses submitted at Oxford for the degree of Bachelor of Divinity. Some chapters are prefixed in the hope that the book may not merely be a contribution to Christian Apologetics in a direction where Apologetics are needed, but also may stimulate some of its possible readers to examine the weapons and the work required for successful dealing with the revival of what may conveniently be called Gnosticism. As in the earlier centuries, this takes many forms, and the task of dealing with it is very complicated. For the Gnostic, both ancient and modem, takes his stand on things that he has seen. And he has seen certain things which to him and to all others who have studied them, indicate the existence of occult forces which are subject-matter for Gnosis.
