Sinossi
Excerpt from On Reserve in Communicating Religious Knowledge
Such, it may be added, is the expression of rebuilding the Tem ple in three days, which was not comprehended? And at twelve years of age, it is said, His parents understood not the saying that He spake unto them, but Mary kept all these sayings in her heart. (luke ii.
And are not the numerous expressions in the New Testament, which are taken from the Old, and are either brought forward in a new meaning, or in a light which Opens and expands their fuller meaning, of the same kind for they are made to convey a lesson different from what is at first sight perceptible to a careless hearer, such as that of taking the lowest place in order that we may gain honor in the presence of those who sit at meat; and that of the Apostle's, to do good to our enemy in order to heap coals of fire on his head? And in the Old Testament itself are there not passages that refer to this reserve of wisdom? What is the meaning of that expression, (in Proverbs xxv. It is the glory of Goo to conceal a matter? Does it not allude to this?

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the idea that, throughout history, God has intentionally concealed sacred truths from those he deems unworthy. This is not a sign of anger or punishment but is done to keep esoteric knowledge from those who may misuse it. As one tenet of their broader argument, the author suggests that parables were used as a veil over the truth, making hidden meanings only accessible to those who were in the right state of mind to receive them. Likewise, the author posits that Jesus veiled his true nature and power from those who were not ready to accept it and that the disciples were only taught the deeper truths after they had proven themselves through their actions. This concept of holding back sacred knowledge is not limited to the Bible and is found in other cultures and religions as well, attesting to the breadth of this phenomenon. The author concludes that this process of concealing knowledge serves to protect those who are unprepared from harm and ensures that sacred mysteries are only revealed to those who are ready to understand and appreciate them.
