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

by Edward Maitland

EN·~6 hours

Description

This compact narrative follows the intertwined lives of two unconventional thinkers whose partnership gave rise to a claimed “New Gospel of Interpretation.” Through vivid recollections and selective correspondence, the author sketches their early encounters, shared spiritual aspirations, and the fervent quest to unveil an ancient, hidden meaning behind familiar scriptures.

Written by one of the two original recipients, the text doubles as a personal testimony and a primer for the Gospel itself. It explains how the work was presented as a restoration of forgotten wisdom, outlines the principles that guided its formation, and offers enough context for listeners to grasp the significance of the movement without delving into later controversies or conclusions.
