In these perilous times when the very survival of the human species
is at stake, there is a desperate need for wisdom to provide
guidance. The sacred literature of the world's major religious
traditions is a source for such wisdom, but it has largely been
misinterpreted and misunderstood, and, thus, instead of being a
source for wisdom, it has been a source for confusion and conflict.
The ancient scriptures, for the most part, were written in a
language which is quite different from ordinary language. It is a
mythological language, which is symbolic, and therefore its meaning
is hidden. In the Bible, for example, there are many narratives
that appear to be historical, but they are history that has been
mythologized, and therefore their surface meaning is not their real
meaning.
Clyde Edward Brown clearly illustrates that the correct
interpretation of the world's religious texts would lead to a
different concept of religion. Instead of belief in the literal
truth of texts that have been misinterpreted, the emphasis would be
on having those religious values, such as social and economic
justice, which are common to all religions.
