How to Understand Your Bible: A Philosopher's Interpretation of Obscure and Puzzling Passages

By Manly P. Hall

Book Overview

2020 Reprint of 1942 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition and not reproduced with Optical Recognition software. "In spite of human prejudice to the contrary, there is but one religion and one truth, and all the great faiths of the world are parts or fragments of the Ancient Wisdom. The Scriptures of the world are the written records devised both to preserve and at the same time to conceal the secrets of the forty-nine branches of the Eternal Law. It naturally follows that there is a certain interdependence between religious writings. To understand any one sacred book completely it is necessary to also understand all other sacred books." Hall attempts to provide a context for the teachings of the Bible by comparing them to the teachings of many other spiritual traditions in human history. "The whole motion of the Universe is toward Truth. Truth is growing up in everything, manifesting through all forms and natures. Truth, therefore, may be called the hidden good, the secret God who dwells in the temples that are built for it according to the law." Manly P. Hall
