The Story of Anna Kingsford and Edward Maitland and of the new Gospel of Interpretation

The work offers a compact, first‑hand chronicle of two pioneering reformers whose lives intertwined around a distant, yet powerful, spiritual current. In the opening pages the author, one of the two original recipients, recounts how Anna Kingsford and Edward Maitland came to recognise a “Gospel of Interpretation” that claimed to restore the ancient, hidden sense of Scripture. Their partnership emerges against a backdrop of late‑nineteenth‑century religious ferment, revealing the urgency they felt to preserve and disseminate what they believed to be a divinely‑inspired insight.

Designed for listeners who want a clear, authoritative sketch without the weight of a massive biography, the narrative stays focused on the formative moments of their collaboration and the early circulation of the new gospel. It blends biographical detail with an explanation of the work’s spiritual aims, offering a vivid portrait of the pair’s shared mission while leaving later developments for more expansive studies.
