George Arthur Gaskell: Dictionary of all scriptures and myths
In his acclaimed Dictionary of all scriptures and myths, G.A. Gaskell offers authoritative definitions and clear explanations for more than 5,000 terms used in the sacred texts of the world's religions and mythologies. The origin, nature and metaphorical meaning of each concept are thoroughly explored in context, supported by numerous quotations from ancient and recent sources and authorities, and carefully cross-linked with other examples. Part dictionary, part encyclopedia, this oversized book is packed with educational information and will satisfy the curiosity of spiritual and cultural seekers.
Gaskell is a master interpreter of sacred symbols and symbolism and explains all the key ones in detail, noting which have deeper underlying meanings and how they differ between different religions and countries. Carefully researched and attractively presented, this invaluable guide is essential for teachers and scholars of comparative religion. The Dictionary of All Scriptures and Myths belongs in the library of anyone who studies the scriptures or reads them as literature, and is enlightening reading for any layman.
