Synopsis
The Lost Key to the Scriptures is a book written by Alvin Boyd Kuhn that explores the hidden meanings and symbolism within religious texts. Kuhn argues that many of the stories and teachings found in the Bible, as well as other sacred texts from around the world, are not meant to be taken literally but rather contain deeper spiritual truths that are only accessible through a symbolic interpretation. Throughout the book, Kuhn examines various aspects of religious symbolism, including the use of numbers, colors, and allegorical characters. He also delves into the history of religion, tracing the development of various beliefs and practices over time. Kuhn's writing is dense and scholarly, drawing on a wide range of sources including ancient texts, mythology, and philosophy. However, he also includes practical advice for readers who are interested in exploring the spiritual significance of religious texts for themselves. Overall, The Lost Key to the Scriptures is a thought-provoking book that challenges readers to look beyond the surface level of religious texts and explore the deeper meaning and symbolism that lies beneath.An essay by the author of the popular New Lectures on the Ancient Wisdom series that puts forth the theory that the commonly held beliefs about the Bible as a book, its date, authorship and inspiration is all quite erroneous. Kuhn asserts that three words, the dead, death and to die bear a meaning that is different from the one commonly supposed to be their standard and established acceptation and offers support for this belief in the body of the text.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Présentation de l'éditeur
Preface: The likelihood of a favorable acceptance of the astounding revelation to be made in this essay will be considerably heightened if the epochal disclosure is preceded by sufficient prefatory exegesis to present it in its proper "frame of reference". So incredible is the true esoteric elucidation of the lost meaning of the Scriptures of Christianity that the immediate reaction will generate the demand to know what historical circumstances or developments could have led in the first place to so fateful a loss of vital knowledge once possessed. It will therefore be judicious to begin the exposition by presenting certain items of the historical background as necessary and highly enlightening introductory matter. This explanatory material must begin with the broad blunt statement that what is commonly believed about the Bible as a book, its date, authorship and "inspiration", is all quite erroneous. Let us be explicit in this: the solid bulk of common belief about this book is totally untrue! There is scarcely a single item of the common man's presuppositions about the Christian Scriptures, — who wrote its books, when it was written, how the composition was "dictated" or "inspired", what its message really means, in what language it was written, what is its assumed historical reference, how and why these particular books were selected out of hundreds to become "the Bible", and other subsidiary questions by the score — that comes within the proverbial mile of the actual truth concerning this mysterious document that for centuries has held the minds of millions under the prodigious obsession of its inviolable sanctity. The grim and sober truth must now be stated, that all general ideas about this volume, disseminated among the masses by the priests of the religions and never corrected by them, are totally, grossly, tragically false to fact.
