Jesus, The Last Great Initiate is a book by Édouard Schuré, first published in English in 1908. Schuré approaches the life and teachings of Jesus from a mystical and theosophical viewpoint, portraying Jesus as the culminating figure in a long line of spiritual initiates. The narrative blends historical episodes with symbolic interpretation, exploring the Essenes, John the Baptist, the public ministry, miracles, and the Passion as stages on an inner path of initiation rather than as strictly secular history. Compact and readable, the work has been republished in small editions for readers of spiritual classics and esoteric Christianity, and it appeals to those researching mystical readings of the Gospels, the history of Western esotericism, or the spiritual currents that influenced early 20th-century thinkers.
