Riassunto

Sex Symbolism in Religion V1 is a book written by James Ballantyne Hannay, which explores the use of sexual symbolism in various religions. The author delves into the ways in which sexual imagery and symbolism have been used in religious texts, rituals, and practices throughout history, and how they have been interpreted by different cultures and societies.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of sex symbolism in religion. The first chapter examines the origins of sexual symbolism in ancient religions, including the worship of fertility goddesses and the use of phallic symbols. The following chapters explore the use of sexual imagery in Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, and how these religions have interpreted and incorporated sexual symbolism into their beliefs and practices.Throughout the book, Hannay provides detailed analysis and interpretation of various religious texts and practices, drawing on his extensive knowledge of religious history and symbolism. He also includes numerous illustrations and diagrams to help readers better understand the complex and often abstract concepts he discusses.Overall, Sex Symbolism in Religion V1 is a fascinating and insightful exploration of the role of sexual symbolism in religious beliefs and practices. It will be of interest to anyone interested in the history of religion, symbolism, and human sexuality.1922. Hannay writes, All the ideas in the Bible, the nature of the Gods, the stories of creation, miracles, life and death, the manner of sacrificing, worshipping, vowing, building alters, arks, tabernacles, and temples, the sacrifices or feasts in these temples, their dress, altar furniture, and symbolism, in fact the entire religion as taught us in the Bible, are absolutely and totally founded upon and saturated with Phallism; and the Phallic cult is that on which Christianity has been founded. Phallism is sex symbolism, and all creative power in a god is symbolized by the actual facts of creation of life in nature by means of the organs of sex. And in the preface to his book on Christianity he wrote, Any work on the symbolism of religion, without treating its phallic basis, would be like Hamlet without the Prince of Denmark.
