The Divine Seed: The Esoteric Teachings of Jesus, by Pekka Ervast, was reviewed in Issue 4 of The Gnostic: A Journal of Gnosticism, Western Esotericism and Spirituality!

The review, written by Bill Darlison, reads, “Ervast presents a dimension of Christianity which has been forgotten or even anathematized by orthodoxy. He assumes the reality of reincarnation and uses terms like karma and dharma which have disappeared from Christian vocabulary but which need to be revived if Christians want to present a cogent theodicy to the world. I liked this book enormously. It is clearly written, with only the occasional reminder that the text is a translation from the original Finnish. It has a good introduction and useful notes by Richard Smoley, the former editor of Gnosis: A Journal of the Western Inner Traditions. You can read it in an afternoon but its insights will stay with you for a long time. I’m only sorry I came upon the work of Ervast so late in my life, and I wonder just how many other masters of the spiritual life are unknown to us because their works were written in the languages of non-colonial nations.
