Among his siblings were Fredrik Ljungström, Birger Ljungström, and Georg Ljungström. Oscar Ljungstrom served as an archivist in the urban engineering office of Stockholm. With a background as an officer in Landstormen of the Swedish Army, and a determined anti-communist, he joined the White forces under Carl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim in Finland after the outbreak of the Finnish Civil War in 1918. He served as a platoon commander during the war, which the Whites eventually won against the Reds. Oscar Ljungström had artistic interests and made several visual artworks, working mainly with oil paintings. Yet, writing became his primary element. Of a family background partly of Christians outside of the mainline Lutheran Church of Sweden, Ljungström's main interests were in philosophy and religion – interests shared by his brother Georg Ljungström – and he wrote extensively on matters of religious philosophy. Theosophy made an impact on European intellectuals and artists of liberal mindset around the turn of the century 1900, and this also applied to the brothers. Although an outspoken critic of esoterism, he advocated an eclectic ethical approach as opposed to both the state religion and secularism of his time, sparking debate on synchretism, and how Christianity could benefit from inspiration of Eastern philosophy. After retirement, he resided with the Theosophical Society in Lomaland in California, United States. Among his last writings was Fredstankens två aspekter (1940), where he expressed hopes for a peaceful coexistence of nations after an anticipated end of World War II. He died in 1943. Bibliography
