Colville provides a comprehensive and detailed account of the origins, development, and impact of theosophy, a spiritual movement that emerged in the late 19th century. The book traces the roots of theosophy to ancient mystical traditions and explores its central tenets, including the belief in a universal spiritual unity and the idea of reincarnation.

Through a careful analysis of primary sources and historical records, Colville offers a fascinating and insightful look into theosophy's impact on spirituality, philosophy, and culture.
