The Tree Of The Knowledge Of Good And Evil by Joshua Hall Mcilvaine. This theological work sets forth a robust symbol-based reading of Scripture, arguing that the biblical narratives are not mere literal histories but rich symbols that reveal universal spiritual truths. The author contends that creation and the Fall hinge on symbolic meanings expressed through the Garden of Paradise, the two trees, the garment of skins, and other sacraments, which are intended to nourish the soul and illuminate God’s plan for humanity. Central themes include the twofold nature of man (earthly and spiritual), the role of conscience as divine law, and the idea that wisdom grounded in God transcends human reason. The book also treats marriage, redemption, and atonement as symbolic reflections of the relationship between God and man, culminating in the message that salvation comes through Christ’s atonement rather than human initiative. The Preface (1647) frames Scripture as a living, symbol-filled witness to spiritual realities.
