Preface

The literal interpretation of the Bible has done much towards driving thoughtful minds into unbelief. Knowing as we do that the oriental language abounds in symbolism, it should be easy for us to understand that we cannot insist upon the literalness of this book which comes to us from the Orient. Many things in the Bible show in themselves the impossibility of being rendered literally, and if any part is admitted to be figurative so may other parts be.

Then we do well to remember, as one has said, that the Bible does not make Truth any more than books written on electricity make electricity. Man discovered Truth and then wrote what he knew about it. In the Bible is recorded simply what men have learned about Truth. Truth never destroys Truth, the fuller vision includes all the lesser that has preceded. Throughout the ancient writings we have messages from all stages of spiritual development, from primitive man to man in the highest plane of unfoldment. We find in these writings the lispings of babes and the utterances of the fully developed or the wise man. "The first man (infant or first view of man) is of the earth earthy; the second man (truer understanding of man) is the Lord from heaven."
