155 pages According to two illuminated Christians, Emmet Fox and Oregen of Alexanderia, all the books in the Bible are filled with some actual history and many allegories and parables which were not intended to be taken literally. Emmet Fox would say, "The outer Bible is wonderful, but the inner Bible is a supreme gift of God." Most people have an interest in or curiosity about God. But many have no interest in theology, religion, or orthodox dogma. And many of those people view the Bible as a book about religion and even possibly a specific religion. That is a misunderstanding of the real Bible, the inner Bible. The misunderstanding comes from a lack of knowledge of the symbolism that is pervasive in the stories. Most of the bible stories are allegories or parables never meant to be taken literally but understood for their underlying symbolic lessons. This mean that the key to understanding the "hidden" meaning and thus the power in the Bible stories comes to you once you understand that symbolism. Emmet Fox who grew up in London, England and had access to some of the greatest minds of the late 19th and early 20th Centuries became a master of Bible symbolism. His many books are filled with definitions of the symbols. The challenge for this author was keeping track of all those definitions. She began a logbook, and people told her they wanted a copy of it. Thus, the first edition was published. Two years later, with encouragement from others, this new edition has many more definitions and enhanced descriptions. Decoding Bible Symbolism-2nd Edition is an easy read and can be used as a resource or just an enjoyable document to sit and read, while discovering exciting new insights into that hidden Bible you never knew.
