Swedenborg Foundation Releases New Book Title "A New Key to the Bible: Unlock Its Inner Meaning and Open the Door to Your Spirit"
In "A New Key to the Bible," author Bruce Henderson offers fellow spiritual seekers a new way to interpret the inner meaning of Bible readings. With the wisdom he's distilled from the thousands of pages written on the subject by renowned eighteenth-century scientist and Christian mystic Emanuel Swedenborg, Henderson helps others see the beauty, significance, and power the thousands-of-years-old Scripture has to offer modern readers.
WEST CHESTER, Pa., Sept. 15, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "A New Key to the Bible: Unlock Its Inner Meaning and Open the Door to Your Spirit" offers author Bruce Henderson's lifetime of Swedenborgian knowledge about how to read the Bible in a way that transcends the literal meaning of the text.
As a moral guidebook, the Bible can often be contradictory. As a historical testimony, it can also be scientifically flawed. Understanding these barriers, Henderson guides readers through Swedenborg's deeper interpretations of the Bible, pointing out the symbolic language that reveals an all-knowing, always-loving, always-present God. The result is a book that offers a thought-provoking yet digestible way to approach the classic stories that some might have trouble taking at face value—Creation, Adam and Eve, Noah's Ark, Abraham and Sarah, Moses, the life of Jesus, and the apocalyptic imagery of Revelation.
At each step of the way, Henderson shows how Scripture stories written thousands of years ago can provide powerful spiritual guidance for the challenges of our time.
"A New Key to the Bible: Unlock Its Inner Meaning and Open the Door to Your Spirit" is available in paperback for $13.95 and e-book editions for $6.99.
