The Life of Jehoshua by Franz Hartmann
Publication: 1888 Occult Publishing Company; First Edition
This scarce first edition by Hartmann was published concurrently under the imprints of the Occult Publishing Company and Banner of Light Publishing in 1888.
A study of Jesus (under the Hebrew name Jehoshua) which views him not from the usual Christian perspective, but instead as a "divinely inspired man", a great adept and initiate "into the ancient Egyptian mysteries" who "became a prophet and a seer."
