The Brazen Serpent

The Brazen Serpent: Or Life Coming Through Death is a book written by Thomas Erskine and published in 1879. The book explores the concept of death and the idea that it is necessary for new life to emerge. Erskine argues that death is not an end, but rather a necessary part of the cycle of life. He uses the biblical story of the brazen serpent as a metaphor for this idea, suggesting that just as the Israelites had to look upon the serpent to be healed, we too must confront death in order to experience new life. The book is a philosophical exploration of the nature of life and death, and is written in Erskine's characteristic style, which is both poetic and deeply spiritual. It is a thought-provoking work that challenges readers to reconsider their beliefs about death and the meaning of life.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
