دانلود کتاب The Christ Life - From Nativity to Ascension

“Every time that you find in our books a tale the reality of which seems impossible, a story which is repugnant to both reason and common sense, then be sure that the tale contains a profound allegory veiling a deeply mysterious truth; and the greater the absurdity of the letter, the deeper the wisdom of the spirit.” — Moses Maimonides, Jewish theologian, historian, Talmudist (1135-1205 A.D.)

Countless people have been provided with new insights into the Christian religion through the in-depth Biblical interpretations of Geoffrey Hodson. In his Hidden Wisdom in the Holy Bible, Volumes I, II and III, he extensively analyzed Old Testament stories, suggesting that many of them are in actuality more meaningful than is commonly supposed; that many of these stories are indeed allegorical, and that, understood from a more universal and less literal point of view, they contain much additional useful knowledge. He believes this is also true of The Christ Life from Nativity to Ascension.

In this book, Hodson moves from a consideration of the Old Testament of the Holy Bible to the New Testament, interpreting the four accounts, or Gospels of the life of Christ, as put down in the King James version of the Bible. The author believes that the Bible should be considered in both its historical and its allegorical significance. He writes: “Ever must it be remembered that the wondrous story (of Jesus the Christ) was never intended to be read as a record of external events alone, but rather as a revelation of the divine within man.”

As a priest in the Liberal Catholic Church, Hodson has naturally maintained an intensive interest in the Holy Bible. He is recognized throughout the world for his exceptional clairvoyant abilities, and has also carried out occult research in collaboration with physicians, physicists, anthropologists and archaeologist. He is the author of some 40 books dealing with such topics as meditation, Theosophy, the spiritual life, health and disease and, of course, Bible symbolism and interpretation.
