Denounced by the New York Times as an "unmitigated rascal"while simultaneously being lauded as a reincarnation of Gautama Buddha himself, Henry Steel Olcott (1832--1907) was friend to Madame Blavatsky, co-founder of theTheosophical Society, and an indefatigable reformer and culture broker between Eastand West. Olcott helped bring about a new spiritual creation, Protestant Buddhism, acreative creolization of American Protestantism, traditional Theravada Buddhism, andother influences. Stephen Prothero's portrait of Olcott is an engaging study ofspiritual quest and cross-cultural encounters.
