Synopsis
Excerpt from The Science of Symbols Setting Forth the True Reason for Symbolism and Ritual, Their Relation, to the Teaching of Christ, and Their, Necessary Adoption by All Forms, of Religious Expression
There is a belief, I trust no longer a growing one, that all our traditions, ideals, and enthusiasms can be classified and catalogued, and their proper uses as satisfactorily stated and learnt, as the bones of our bodies or the bits of our bicycles; and while this belief prevails Lit sterilises every attempt to approach this subject from a more natural, a more spontaneous, a more imaginative and less mechanical point of view.

The Science of Symbols Setting Forth the True Reason for Symbolism and Ritual,
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book embarks on an exploration of symbolism, ritual, and faith, arguing for the essential role of imagination in both religion and art. The author contrasts the present day's emphasis on facts and science with the richer, more fulfilling approach of embracing the unseen and the symbolic. Delving into the history of Christianity and the evolution of religious practices, the author contends that the Protestant Reformation, in its pursuit of simplicity, discarded valuable rituals and symbols that could enhance spiritual experience. The text champions the imaginative worldview advocated by Jesus, emphasizing the significance of faith over knowledge and the power of symbols to convey profound truths. Exploring various forms of symbolism, from religious icons to everyday objects, the author highlights the need for meaningful and aesthetically pleasing symbols that resonate with our emotions. The book challenges the notion that worshipping in spirit and truth is incompatible with the use of symbols, arguing instead that true spirituality lies in embracing the power of imagination and symbolism to connect with the divine. Ultimately, this book invites readers to rediscover the richness and depth of a life imbued with symbolism, offering a path towards a more fulfilling and meaningful existence through the power of faith and imagination. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
