References

A few of the references only exist as a footnote - we have Macmahon 2008, and something by Tolstoy (written in cyrillic). We need full references! Secretlady (talk) 04:09, 31 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The Macmahon looks like McMahan, David L. (2008) The Making of Buddhist Modernism. Oxford University Press, New York. Secretlady (talk) 04:14, 31 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I've added McMahan. Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 06:03, 31 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Christian Theosophy

I propose to use the terminology "Christian theosophy", instead of "traditional theosophy" for theosophers of the 17th to 19th century in the article. The theosophy of Boehme and the theosophers of this period is basically Christian theosophy rooted in Christian thought and most sources name it thus:

Faivre, Antoine. "Christian Theosophy." Dictionary of Gnosis & Western Esotericism
"Thus the less-marked term "theosophy" (lower-case f) or "Christian theosophy" was not infrequently used as a euphemism for gnostic tendencies; the term was certainly applied to Soloviev more than once. "Russian Religious Thought edited by Judith Deutsch Kornblatt, Richard F. Gustafson

Traditional theosophy is also a bit of a misnomer: within the Christian tradition, theosophy (in the sense of Christian esotericism) was not really traditional. --Trinity9538 (talk) 21:58, 4 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That makes sense. Qexigator (talk) 23:39, 4 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Citation needed

Citation needed since 2 years, moved to talk:

German philosophers produced major works of Christian theosophy during this period: Theophilosophia theoritica et practica. (1710) by Samuel Richter [de] (pseudo. Sincerus Renatus) and Opus magocabalsticum et theosophicum. (1721) by Georg von Welling (pseudo. Salwigt, 1655-1727).^{[citation needed]} Other notable theosophers of the period include Johann George Gichtel (1638–1710), Gottfried Arnold (1666–1714), Friedrich Christoph Oetinger (1702–1782), William Law (1686–1761), and Dionysius Andreas Freher (1649–1728) ^{[citation needed]}.

In France, Louis Claude de Saint-Martin (1743–1803) and Jean-Philippe Dutoit-Membrini (alias Keleph Ben Nathan, 1721-1793) contributed to a resurgence of theosophy in the late 18th century.^{[citation needed]} Other theosophical thinkers of this period include Karl von Eckartshausen (1752–1803), Johann Heinrich Jung (1740–1817), Frédéric-Rodolphe Saltzmann [fr] (1749–1821), Johann Michael Hahn (1758–1819), and Franz von Baader (1765–1841). ^{[citation needed]}.

By the 16th century the word theosophy was being used in at least one of its current meanings.^[1]^{[by whom?]}.

theosophy flourished in the works of Aegidius Gutmann [de] (1490–1584), Valentin Weigel (1533–1588), Heinrich Khunrath (1560–1605), Johann Arndt (1555–1621), and Kaspar Schwenckfeld [de] (1490–1584).^{[citation needed]}
