Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a thorough study of the figurative language and symbolism used in the Bible by providing original interpretations of biblical texts from the perspective of the 18th century. The author demonstrates that the meaning of words and symbols in the Bible is not always literal, but rather metaphorical and allusive. The author argues that this metaphorical language is employed to make the Bible more accessible and relatable to its readers, while also allowing for multiple interpretations and insights. The book also examines how the context of the Bible's writing, including historical and cultural factors, can contribute to a deeper understanding of its figurative language. The author's approach is practical and exegetical, offering detailed analyses of passages from the Old and New Testaments to illustrate the principles of biblical interpretation. Ultimately, this book highlights the power and depth of the Bible's message and encourages readers to engage with its texts on a deeper level.
