Synopsis

Lost Light: An Interpretation of Ancient Scriptures is a book written by Alvin Boyd Kuhn that explores the hidden meanings and symbolism found within ancient religious texts. Kuhn delves into the esoteric teachings of various faiths, including Christianity, Judaism, and Hinduism, to uncover the spiritual truths that have been lost or obscured over time. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on the allegorical nature of ancient scripture and the second part examining the deeper meanings behind specific stories and symbols. Kuhn argues that many of the stories and teachings found in these texts are not meant to be taken literally, but rather are meant to convey spiritual truths and insights that are relevant to all people, regardless of their religious beliefs.Throughout the book, Kuhn draws on his extensive knowledge of mythology, philosophy, and comparative religion to provide a comprehensive analysis of the hidden meanings and symbolism found within ancient texts. He also provides practical guidance on how readers can apply these teachings to their own lives in order to achieve greater spiritual understanding and enlightenment.Overall, Lost Light: An Interpretation of Ancient Scriptures is a thought-provoking and insightful book that offers a fresh perspective on the meaning and significance of ancient religious texts. It is a must-read for anyone interested in spirituality, mythology, or comparative religion.With keys drawn from ancient Egypt's wisdom it (The Lost Light) pierces through the outer veil of Bible literalism and alleged history and reconstructs the long-lost structure of sublime arcane meaning. He establishes the epochal fact that the Christian religion can no longer be considered a product of Judea in the first century A.D., but is of remote Egyptian origin.������� �������The evidence amassed demonstrates beyond cavil that the Bible is a reprint of old Egyptian texts.������� Partial Contents: Wisdom Hidden in a Mystery; Loosing the Seven Seals; The Descent to Avernus; Colonists from Heaven; The Mummy in Amenta; Dismemberment and Disfigurement; Earth, Water, Air, Fire; Baptism at the Crossing; The Ark and the Deluge; The Lake of Equipoise; Suns of Intellect; At the East of Heaven.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

2015 Reprint of the 1940 edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Highly influenced by the work of Gerald Massey and Godfrey Higgins, Kuhn contended that the Bible derived its origins from other Pagan religions and much of Christian history was pre-extant as Egyptian mythology. He also proposed that the Bible was symbolic and did not depict real events, and argued that the leaders of the church started to misinterpret the bible at the end of the third century. Many authors including Tom Harpur and John G. Jackson were influenced by the works of Kuhn. Harpur even dedicated his best-selling 2004 book, "The Pagan Christ" to Kuhn, calling him "a man of immense learning and even greater courage" and "one of the single greatest geniuses of the twentieth century" [who] "towers above all others of recent memory in intellect and his understanding of the world's religions." Harpur notes that Kuhn gave nearly 2,000 public lectures which were lengthy, detailed and well-attended, but suggests that Kuhn's self-publishing may have resulted in a lack of attention to his work.
