When inquirers come to the Theosophical Society they naturally want to know what Theosophy is and what the Society does. Due to the uniqueness of this organization and the deep nature of its teachings these questions are never easy to answer.

Available publications on the subject generally consist of short brochures that cannot go beyond a general presentation or books mainly aimed at members of the Society. None of these are appropriate for inquirers who show more than a casual interest but may not have the background that a TS member does.

In our first pamphlet Introducing Theosophy and the Theosophical Society, Pablo Sender presents the subject in a clear way, pointing out the features that make this organization unique and exploring the depths implied in the term Theosophy.
