The symbolic examination of God helps us to uncover what it means to be human, and where we are heading as a species. Symbols aid in conveying the abstract ideas that human languages are too limited to express. In the broadest sense, God symbolizes all the mysteries of existence.

God symbolizes these important mysteries and beckons us to approach him for answers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1 Preface Chapter 2 Introduction Chapter 3 God as Symbol Chapter 4 The Cross as Symbol Chapter 5 The Symbolism of Sin Chapter 6 The Symbolic Nature of Prayer Chapter 7 Salvation as Symbol Chapter 8 Symbolism in Salvation History Chapter 9 Kingdom as Symbol Chapter 10 Birth and Death as Symbol Chapter 11 Suffering as Symbol Chapter 12 The Symbolism of Eating and Drinking Chapter 13 Growth as Symbol Chapter 14 War as Symbol Chapter 15 Symbols of Love Chapter 16 Faith as Symbol Chapter 17 The Symbolism of Belief Versus Unbelief Chapter 18 Doubt as Symbol Chapter 19 The Body as Symbol Chapter 20 The Heart as Symbol Chapter 21 Science as Symbol Chapter 22 Religion as Symbol Chapter 23 Art as Symbol Chapter 24 Beauty as Symbol Chapter 25 Bibliography","brand":"University Press of America","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51037786767703,"sku":"9780761830351","price":37.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780761830351.jpg?v=1750937316","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/god-as-symbol-9780761830351","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
