The Lost Key to the Scriptures - Alvin Boyd Kuhn - Bog

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.
