Thrice Greatest Hermes

These volumes, complete in themselves as a series of studies in a definite body of tradition, are intended to serve ultimately as a small contribution to the preparation of the way leading towards a solution of the vast problems involved in the scientific study of the Origins of the Christian Faith. They might thus perhaps be described as the preparation of materials to serve for the historic, mythic, and mystic consideration of the Origins of Christianity - where the term "mythic" is used in its true sense of inner, typical, sacred and "logic", as opposed to the external processioning of physical events known as "historic", and where the term "mystic" is used as that which pertains to initiation and the mysteries.
