Ocean of Theosophy

By William Q. Judge

---

The Ocean of Theosophy represents an attempt to summarize the main ideas involved in the theosophical philosophy, explained in a way that can be understood easily by the average reader—each chapter is devoted to a specific tenet of theosophy and provides an overview of its meaning. To this day "The Ocean" remains one of the best books for newcomers to theosophy. Yet it also contains ideas and explanations that continue to be helpful as one's studies go deeper into the philosophy.
