Mulling over Inner Christianity by Robert Smoley for a few weeks now. Inner Christianity: A Guide to the Esoteric Tradition: Richard Smoley: 9781570628108: Amazon.com: Books This book helped me understand the differences between Inner and Outer Christianity, and that the majority of what the world finds offensive about Christianity is due to the practices of the Exoteric Christian.
