Publisher's Synopsis
""Studies in Biblical and Semitic Symbolism"" is a scholarly work that delves into the symbolic language of the Bible and other Semitic texts. Written by Maurice H. Farbridge, a respected scholar of religion and mythology, the book explores the deep layers of meaning that are embedded in the symbols and metaphors used in these ancient texts. Farbridge draws on a wide range of sources, including the Old and New Testaments, the Talmud, the Quran, and other ancient texts, as well as the works of modern scholars and thinkers. Through his analysis, he sheds light on the complex and often mysterious world of biblical symbolism, showing how these symbols can reveal profound truths about the human experience and the nature of the divine. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the study of religion, mythology, or symbolism, and provides a fascinating glimpse into the rich and complex world of ancient Semitic culture.1923.
