{"product_id":"9780877851127","title":"Correspondences of the Bible: The Animals","description":"\u003cp\u003eWithin the literal language of the Bible is a deeper spiritual meaning that points the way toward a greater understanding of faith and of our own role in the world. Eighteenth-century scientist and theologian Emanuel Swedenborg described that inner language of the Bible as “correspondences.” More than a century later, John Worcester used Swedenborg’s teachings as the foundation for a three-volume road map to the correspondences of the natural world. \u003ci\u003eCorrespondences of the Bible \u003c\/i\u003eremains one of the most highly regarded references on the subject today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eCorrespondences of the Bible: The Animals\u003c\/i\u003e covers both the familiar and the exotic, from farmyards to remote jungles. Animals are grouped by function and by similarities in their correspondences, and Worcester discusses how certain character traits can overlap by species, sometimes manifesting in a positive way in one animal and negatively in another. He draws from Bible verse, Swedenborg’s writings, and the science of his time to shed a fascinating new light on the living world around us.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Swedenborg Foundation Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47015991148784,"sku":"9780877851127","price":12.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780877851127_p0.jpg?v=1763847842","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780877851127","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
