Product Description
Strachan, author of "Jesus the Master Builder" and "Chartres," turns back to the roots of biblical wisdom. Patterns appear repeatedly throughout the Bible and influence festivals and belief systems, but what are their bases? And, are they incidental or deliberate?
By returning to the principles of ancient cosmology, that is, how the biblical writers viewed the universe, the author reveals a new understanding of the Bible. He uses the disciplines of music theory, astronomy and astrology, numerology, and sacred geometry to uncover hidden wisdom and allow the ancient secrets of the Bible to shine through.
This book is a compelling whirlwind through the imagery and metaphor inherent in the Bible, giving the reader a deeper understanding of ancient wisdom traditions and a new respect for the implicit coding of the Bible.

Reader ReviewsThough there was an immense amount of valuable information in this book, it was so boring it made my head spin.
