This work is a literal translation of the fourth Gospel, preserving its philosophical and mystical terminology, and, as far as possible, the peculiarities of its literary form. The modern English style is followed in this translation, not only for the sake of clearness, but also because it fairly represents the simple, homely, and halting Greek of the Gospel. The lack of English equivalents for many of the Greek words and phrases makes it impossible to render these satisfactorily in some passages, but in all such cases explanatory footnotes are added, giving definitions and more adequate renderings than could be observed in the close and literal translation. These notes, being indexed, form ...
James Morgan Pryse was a publisher, author, and a theosophist who published several books on religion including Reincarnation in the New Testament. His long history with the theosophical society and his own familial involvement with the society inspired him to explore his interest in religion, specifically reincarnation, and attempt to find justifications for his own faith within the Bible. This deep conviction and relentless pursuit of truth encouraged Pryse to explore the Bible in new and interesting (even potentially heretic) ways. As reincarnation was a topic of particular interest for Pryse, he spends much of the book breaking down key passages from the New Testament of the Bible in an ...

The Book of Dzyan is a sacred text containing esoteric wisdom on the nature of existence, the Seven Creations, and cosmic evolution.
The biblical Book of Revelation is not a cryptic history or prophecy, as is generally believed, but is, in fact, a manual of spiritual development. So explains theosophist James M. Pryse in this 1919 work, which seeks to uncover the hidden significance of the most misunderstood section of the Bible and reinterpret it from a modern theosophical perspective, uncovering its esoteric relationship to other ancient texts, including the Upanishads. Pryse offers a new translation of the Apocalypse based upon undisputed meanings of the original Greek text and comments on it on a verse-by-verse basis to bring to light startling new meaning in a work that many readers will have believed fully explored. Students of comparative mythology, ancient religion, and the Bible will find this an intriguing read. American journalist JAMES MORGAN PRYSE JR. (1859-1942) helped found the Gnostic Society in Los Angeles in 1925. He is also the author of Sermon on the Mount and Other Extracts from the New Testament (1899) and Reincarnation in the New Testament (1900), among other works.
