Born in Franklin County, Pennsylvania, Kuhn studied the Ancient Greek language at university. He obtained his B.A. in 1903 and started his career working as a language teacher in high schools. He enrolled in summer sessions at Columbia University in 1926 and 1927, and then quit teaching to devote to full-time studies in 1927. His thesis, Theosophy: A Modern Revival of the Ancient Wisdom, was the first thesis on Theosophy approved by any modern American or European university to obtain a doctorate. Kuhn later expanded his thesis into his first book of the same name in 1930. After obtaining his Ph.D. in 1931, he returned to teaching for one year, but then spent the next 30 years writing, lecturing, and running his own publishing house, Academy Press in Elizabeth, New Jersey.
The author of over 150 books, essays and published papers, Kuhn completed his final book, A Rebirth for Christianity, shortly before his death in September 1963, in Morristown, New Jersey, a week shy of his 83rd birthday. At the time if his death, Kuhn had left two unfinished hand-written manuscripts, and several of his works, such as Christ’s Three Days in Hell: Revelation of an Astounding Christian Fallacy (1990) and Case of the Missing Messiah (1990), were published or reprinted posthumously.view less
