Mysteries of John

Mysteries of John explains the book of John from a metaphysical point of view. The Bible is a symbolic book using people, places and events as symbols of certain stages of our inner development. Mysteries of John helps to shed light on these symbols and brings clearer understanding to the book of John. "METAPHYSICAL BIBLE students recognize in the Gospel of John a certain spiritual quality that is not found in the other Gospels. Although this is not true of all Bible readers, it may be said that those who look for the mystical find it in the language of this book. The book is distinctive in this respect and is so successful in setting forth metaphysical truths that little interpretation is necessary. Only in a few instances does the original writing conceal the deep truths that the student seeks to discern. Written language is at best a reflection of inner ideas, and even though a teacher couples ideas and words as adroitly as Jesus does, elucidation is sometimes difficult.
