The Story of Anna Kingsford and Edward Maitland and of the new Gospel of Interpretation

** "The Story of Anna Kingsford and Edward Maitland and of the New Gospel of Interpretation" by Edward Maitland is a true story from the late 1800s that follows the lives of Anna Kingsford, a woman doctor with strong feelings about spiritual and mystical matters, and Edward Maitland, her partner in thinking. Together, they try to explain a "New Gospel of Interpretation," which is their way of understanding religious writings in a more modern and thoughtful way. The book starts by telling us about Kingsford and Maitland's lives, showing how they both were drawn to spiritual ideas early on. Kingsford feels a special calling but struggles against the rules of her time that limit women. Maitland, on the other hand, questions old religious ideas and looks for deeper meaning. They come together to challenge the focus on material things and share their spiritual discoveries through their teachings. **
