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.
