Synopsis "Lost Light: An Interpretation of Ancient Scriptures"
Lost Light: An Interpretation of Ancient Scriptures is a book written by Alvin Boyd Kuhn that explores the symbolism and metaphorical meanings of various ancient texts, including the Bible, the Egyptian Book of the Dead, and the Hindu Vedas. Kuhn argues that these texts contain hidden spiritual truths that have been lost over time and that can only be uncovered through careful analysis and interpretation.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a particular aspect of ancient scripture, such as the creation story, the nature of God, and the concept of salvation. Kuhn draws on a wide range of sources, including mythology, philosophy, and comparative religion, to support his interpretations and to demonstrate the universality of the spiritual truths that he believes are contained within these texts.Throughout the book, Kuhn emphasizes the importance of a spiritual approach to reading and interpreting ancient scripture, rather than a literal or historical one. He argues that the true meaning of these texts can only be understood through a deep understanding of the symbolism and metaphorical language used by the ancient authors.Lost Light: An Interpretation of Ancient Scriptures is a thought-provoking and insightful book that will appeal to anyone interested in spirituality, mythology, and comparative religion. It offers a fresh perspective on some of the world's most ancient and revered texts, and provides readers with a deeper understanding of the spiritual truths that lie at their core.This is a new release of the original 1940 edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
