WATON, HARRY — The Key to the Bible

New York: Spinoza Institute of America, Inc, 1952. First Edition. Hardcover. "The seal of the bible is its plain language. The garment of the Bible is only a symbol. To know and understand the Bible, we must remove the seal. We must endeavor to penetrate beyond the symbols, to attain a true knowledge and understanding of what the Bible really contains. We shall proceed as follows. First, we shall acquaint ourselves with the three orders of mathematics. Next, we shall consider the Kaballah so as to acquire an idea of the philosophy involved in the Bible. And then only we shall take up the study of the Bible itself." - Introduction. "Harry Waton (1871-1959) was a Russian-born American rabbi, kabbalist and philosopher, focused on the works of Karl Marx and Benedict Spinoza." - Wikiquote. Waton is perhaps best remembered for his 1939 book "A Program For The Jews And An Answer To All Anti Semites." [6]-96 pp. Tight and unmarked with average wear to original dark blue cloth.
