Synopsis

Lost Light: An Interpretation of Ancient Scriptures is a book written by Alvin Boyd Kuhn that aims to shed light on the hidden meanings and symbolism found in ancient scriptures. Kuhn argues that these scriptures contain a wealth of knowledge and wisdom that can be applied to modern life, but that their true meanings have been lost over time. He explores various ancient texts, including those from Egypt, Greece, India, and the Bible, and provides his own interpretations of their deeper meanings. Kuhn also delves into the history of religion and spirituality, examining the ways in which these ancient texts have influenced and shaped our understanding of the world around us. This book is a thought-provoking and enlightening read for anyone interested in spirituality, mythology, and the history of 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.

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.
