Annie Besant is primarily remembered as the international president of the Theosophical Society. One of the most important aspects of her career were the years that she was a professional atheist, which has given her a place in history as a pioneer feminist. The Origins of Theosophy contains thirteen of Besant's pamphlets, originally published from 1883-1890. This book is ideal for students of theology.

Citing examples from scriptural passages, noncanonical gospels, and writings from Church Fathers, Besant shows that Jesus' closest followers had a deeper knowledge of spiritual matters than the believers around them. Furthermore, this secret information was passed down from teacher to student throughout the ages within the Church hierarchy. Besant advocates that these mystical truths be revealed to the public to help them evolve spiritually. She then discusses fundamental Christian principles from an esoteric perspective including the Resurrection of Christ, the Trinity, prayer, and the sacraments.
