Scripture Symbolism: An Introduction to the Science of Correspondences, or Natural and Spiritual Counterparts - Couverture rigide
Présentation de l'éditeur
All Christian Churches have the literal Bible; but they differ as to its meaning, and especially as to its figurative sense. The purpose of this book is to help the sincere inquirer to open the seals of the literal Bible, and to recognize its inward spirit; and thus to present a new language to those needy ones who have ears to hear what theS pirit saith unto the churches. The system of doctrine herein explained is that made known to the world through Emanuel Swedenborg. There is aD ictionary of Correspondences, etc, compiled from the theological writings of Swedenborg; but it is adapted to the use of advanced students. And the undersigned and others have felt the need of a practical elementary work, as an introduction to the greatS cience of Correspondences; a hand-book, with which the student may acquire a rational and systematic idea of the philosophy, and of the leading facts, of correspondences, representatives and signs, which knowledge he may use in gaining a better understanding of theD ivine Word. It is not meant that this book will be sufficient to open, to any student, all the spiritual meaning of all parts of theS acred Scriptures. Such an understanding can come to him, only, whose mind is prepared for such insight, not only by a knowledge of theS cience of Correspondences, but also by an interior mental state in which a perception of spiritual truth can be enjoyed.
