So, finishing up with Annie Besant's "Esoteric Christianity". Want to record some things. I understand what she is saying, and I generally agree with it. But, Besant was a Union Organizer, Birth Control Advocate, Fabian Socialist, and Marxist. So are Esoteric Christianity and Theosophy just she wimping out and accepting an opiate?
I need to read a biography of her, and preferably written by someone outside of the Theosophical Society.

So Kabbala is being attributed to Rabbi Moses de Leon, who passed away in 1350 A. D..
Five books, Bahir, Zohar, Sepher Sephiroth, Sepher Yetzirah, and Asch Metzareth.
Talks of Epistle of Polycarp, Epistle of Barnabas ( authenticity in question )
and The Martyrdom of Ignatius.
