Title: Throws light on Bible symbolism
Review: This is a helpful book for throwing some light on a vast subject, namely symbolism in the Bible.Some people accept the Bible literally, others dismiss it because they can only see the literal side.Fohr makes some very cogent interpretations of symbolism in Genesis and Exodus.He covers topics such as Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel,the Ark and the Tower,Abraham and Isaac, and others.He reads the Bible in terms of universal religious symbolism,though filtered through the lens of Eastern philosophy. Fohr is influenced by the writings of Rene Gueon and Frithjof Schuon in particular.Although I do not subscribe to Fohr's philosophical stance, I find that he does expand my awareness of Bible symbolism, and gives much food for thought.It is a very good book to get you beyond Bible literalism.
