About this Item

Neuware - Sunlit Streams of Water is a devotional that celebrates religious naturalism. This book captures the symbolism of 'sunlight,' 'streams,' and 'water.' Its themes represent the life, energy, power, and rebirth shown in the sun. Sunlight appears as the completion of the Creator's great work. Streams declare the passage of time, while water is the new birth as it flows into the vast oceans of life. Much of this symbolism shows a pathway to our hearts. But water itself represents not only birth, but also fertility, and refreshment. It symbolizes life itself, and is used for purification and healing, alleviation of suffering, and redemption. In Christianity it's the symbol of baptism, while the Holy Spirit is often depicted as celestial fire. But to a religious naturalist nature in all its manifestations - sky, moon, stars, mountains, hills, valleys, trees, flora and fauna are Holy. Scientific inquiry and the arts are prerequisites on which all reality is best interpreted.

Synopsis

Sunlit Streams of Water is a devotional that celebrates religious naturalism. This book captures the symbolism of “sunlight,” “streams,” and “water.” Its themes represent the life, energy, power, and rebirth shown in the sun. Sunlight appears as the completion of the Creator’s great work. Streams declare the passage of time, while water is the new birth as it flows into the vast oceans of life. Much of this symbolism shows a pathway to our hearts. But water itself represents not only birth, but also fertility, and refreshment. It symbolizes life itself, and is used for purification and healing, alleviation of suffering, and redemption. In Christianity it’s the symbol of baptism, while the Holy Spirit is often depicted as celestial fire. But to a religious naturalist nature in all its manifestations – sky, moon, stars, mountains, hills, valleys, trees, flora and fauna are Holy. Scientific inquiry and the arts are prerequisites on which all reality is best interpreted.
