This is a revised and enlarged edition of John Moriarty’s first published work, which has been out of print since 1994. A Book of Revelations mediated by stories and personal excursions in literature, philosophy and sacred writings, John Moriarty articulates the wisdom of humanity. He draws on cultural landscapes in India, China, Egypt, Australia, the Americas and Europe. The book is now recognized as a classic of spiritual writing. It enlarges our capacity for symbolic understanding in an age of millennial anxiety.
