Within the literal language of the Bible is a deeper spiritual meaning that points the way toward a greater understanding of faith & of our own role in the world. Eighteenth-century scientist & 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. Correspondences of the Bible remains one of the most highly regarded references on the subject today. Correspondences of the Bible: The Animals covers both the familiar & the exotic, from farmyards to remote jungles. Animals are grouped by function & by similarities in their correspondences, & Worcester discusses how certain character traits can overlap by species, sometimes manifesting in a positive way in one animal & negatively in another.
