Thou Art That: Transforming Religious Metaphor, Paperback

Woven from Joseph Campbell s previously unpublished work, this volume explores Judeo-Christian symbols and metaphors and their misinterpretations with the famed mythologist s characteristic conversational warmth and accessible scholarship. Campbell s insights highlight centuries of confusion between literal and metaphorical interpretations of Western religious symbols that are, he argues, perennially relevant keys to spiritual understanding and mystical revelation.
