About this Item

Print on Demand. This book delves into the profound and often misunderstood concept of correspondences, exploring the hidden spiritual meanings within the literal text of the Bible. The author, drawing inspiration from the teachings of Emanuel Swedenborg, reveals how the Scriptures were written according to a divinely ordained system of symbolism, where every object, action, and condition in the physical world holds a corresponding counterpart in the spiritual realm. The book offers a unique framework for understanding the Bible's inner meaning, showing how natural elements like land and water, animals, plants, and even human body parts, are not merely physical objects but stand as representations of deeper spiritual truths about our minds, emotions, and the nature of the Divine. This approach, while rooted in ancient traditions, offers a fresh perspective on scriptural interpretation, moving beyond literal readings to uncover the rich tapestry of spiritual meaning woven within the fabric of the text. The book's insights challenge us to see the world and the Bible through a spiritual lens, revealing the interconnectedness of the physical and spiritual realms and offering a pathway to deeper understanding of ourselves and the Divine.

About this title

Synopsis

Excerpt from Scripture Symbolism

All Christian Churches have the literal Bible; but they differ as to its meaning, and especially as to its figurative sense. The purpose of this book is to help the sincere inquirer to open the seals of the literal Bible, and to recognize its inward spirit; and thus to present a new language to those needy ones who have ears to hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. The system of doctrine herein explained is that made known to the world through Emanuel Swedenborg. There is a Dictionary of Correspondences, etc, com piled from the theological writings of Swedenborg; but it is adapted to the use of advanced students. And the undersigned and others have felt the need of a practical elementary work, as an introduction to the great Science of Correspondences; a hand — book, with which the student may acquire a rational and syste matic idea of the philosophy, and of the leading facts, of correspondences, representatives and signs, which knowledge he may use in gaining a better understand ing of the Divine Word.
