Symbols Of The Sacred

Plot

Symbols of the Sacred gathers four classic texts by Louis Dupre on the role of symbol and myth in our understanding of the sacred and on their fundamental importance to religious consciousness: Of Holy Signs, The Symbolism of Words, The Symbolism of Religious Art, The Myth and Its Survival. The volume concludes with a powerful reflection on the innate capacity of human minds to grasp the transcendent."--Jacket.
