Reseña del libro "Christ and Revelation: A Simple Decoding of Some New Testament Symbolism (en Inglés)"
In this slender volume the author seeks to decipher the REAL meaning of Christianity, as opposed to the literalist approach which fails utterly to delve into the obvious symbolic nature of the religion. Belief always clouds judgment, and so August Hunt starts from an avowed dual stance of genuine love for the material and measured agnosticism. Over the course of his life he has witnessed one after another "authority" offer naive and potentially harmful interpretations of the Christ story and its culmination in the book of Revelation. These interpretations were based, of course, on a combination of ignorance, subjectivism and the inability to critically analyze intentionally encrypted texts. In truth, there is not much about early Christianity that is genuinely mysterious. Certainly, generations of Christian theologians have done their best to hide the original meaning of the religion. And they have succeeded so well at their efforts that the underlying significance of Christianity has been completely forgotten, even among the initiate. In place of this meaning is something entirely "other", a perversion of faith and belief, that has taken on a sad and sometimes tragic life of its own. It bears little resemblance to the cosmic message residing beneath the layer of symbolic language. While the author does not expect to change anyone's mind, and knows that his work will either draw fire from certain quarters or even be ignored, he would rest content knowing that those who are more susceptible to reasonable conjecture may find something of value in a balanced presentation of New Testament "cryptography".
