Bible ~ The Bible for Everyman - From Genesis to the Exodus

This book is “an excellent introduction to the study of the Bible as a living story of spiritual ideas that forms a coherent whole. At the outset the author discusses the symbolic method of the Scriptural writers and then shows the key symbols pervading the Bible, which are first presented in the order of the seven days of creation. With this established, the great Old Testament stories from Genesis to the Exodus, familiar and not so familiar, yield their spiritual interpretation, and their relationship to every man’s experience comes to light in a fresh and absorbing way. These superb early narratives are also linked with many other Old and New Testament stories, so that the consistency and wholeness of the Scriptures is demonstrated. Moreover, that which underlies the Bible is the timeless, onmiactive Science of the Spiritual which unites mankind beyond all sectarian barriers.” Summary on back cover of the third edtion."

21 pgs ~ A Manual of Spiritual Power - WHY is it that the Bible  goes on being a best-seller year after year? Why is it that even the professed unbeliever will, in times of acute distress, when all other supports are failing, find himself strengthened and comforted by the 91st Psalm or some other Scriptural passage? Because it is natural to appeal to the spiritual the material and human, and because the Bible might be described as a manual of spiritual power, as yet only dimly understood.  -- Please click title or description to view or download this complete text
24 pgs - The Bible (especially in the Gospels) embodies a wealth of illustrations of  how thought which is intelligently attuned to what might be called spiritual laws of harmony can readjust all that is out of tune in human life. No one can deny what a desperate lack there is of that class of thought and also that there is the greatest possible need for it in individual, national and world affairs. But in order for thought to be in exact accord with that which is fundamental reality, it is surely not strange that it must be prepared to investigate carefully and humbly the definite spiritual values symbolized in the Bible; they are symbolized there in such a way that they can be understood and proved practical.  -- Please click title or description to view or download this complete text
24 pgs - NOAH is a delightfully fantastic fairy-tale figure to most people— a venerable  patriarch with a large zoo on his treble-decker houseboat. Most people are familiar from their childhood days with the story of Noah in some form, but they do not take it seriously as something which could apply to us to-day. Yet upon investigation the story proves to be a most exact symbolic
account of how to save ourselves, and everything which is worth saving, from the self-destructive processes of the material,—how to steer constantly clear of the wreckage of materialism. It gives a wonderfully wise and detailed picture of the orderly steps we can take in order to find our way out of "deep waters, where the floods overflow" us. So we cannot be too grateful for its place in the Bible, and whenever gratitude enters into our Bible studies they are much enriched.  -- Please click title or description to view or download this complete text
23 pgs - THE Bible indicates the fundamental Science of being,—that which can be learned  systematically and proved to be basic truth. The more we study it with humility and in an ordered way and thus let its Science unfold to us, the more we appreciate the Bible as embodying the answer to every questioning. It is a textbook for all time, because its symbols are irrepressibly fresh, and it meets our need whether we are looking for the most transcendent vision of spiritual things or for relief from some situation which seems desperately difficult.  -- Please click title or description to view or download this complete text
19 pgs - ISAAC and JACOB - MORE and more one appreciates the Bible as  a teacher and guide and friend. It never loses the standpoint seven days of creation, which begins the Bible, we have something beyond all price: that which brings an understanding of God, the infinite, within our reach and so enables us to "take up serpents." Those "serpents" are the poisonous beliefs which bind all mankind so harshly to unhappiness, ill-health, fear of humanity. It never forgets the plight of man in a world which seems painfully contradictory, but shows him in a way he can grasp—that is, through illustration—how to educate himself out of that plight through understanding God.

18 pgs - JUST as the composer prolifically expresses specific ideas in musical language, so  the Scriptural writers prolifically expressed their ideas of the Principle behind life and truth and love in the language of myths, songs, sermons, and historical records. Like the composer, the final compilers of the Old and New Testaments were able to give form to their copious inspiration, because they had a sense of the whole, with its one great theme of the relationship of God to man, developed in an orderly way. Again like a musical composition, the Bible is full of the beauty and warmth which speak to the heart
as well as to the mind, and bring healing.  -- Please click title or description to view or download this complete text
27 pgs - Thinking About God - THE basic error of the centuries has been  the failure to think deeply enough about God,—to think out the divine nature and thence to try to live in accordance with it. No one would deny that there have been great achievements and wonderful lives in the course of the years, but there would have been less of a price to pay for them if there had been more recognition of the impersonal nature of good as based on the infinite Principle of the universe.
From time to time there are prophecies of the imminent end of civilization.
Recently a winner of a Nobel Prize for literature has said: "There are no longer any problems of the spirit; there is only the question, When will I be blown up?" But the spirit of man is always potentially greater than anything he may encounter by way of obstacles. The reason why a man's spirit is often defeated rather than victorious is that he generally thinks of his sources of strength as limited and personal, rather than as infinite and impersonal (although expressed individually).  -- Please click title or description to view or download this complete text
