In these expertly collected essays, lectures and discussions, famed mythologist Joseph Campbell illuminates Judeo-Christian symbols and metaphors - and their misinterpretations. With the conversational warmth and accessible scholarship that he brought into so many living rooms through his groundbreaking conversations with Bill Moyers, Campbell highlights centuries of confusion between literal and metaphorical approaches to religious story. Ranging across religious and mythological history and geography, he argues that the symbols of the Western religions are perennially relevant keys to spiritual understanding and mystical revelation. Whether he's discussing the virgin birth, miracles or the cross, Campbell's voice is uniquely engaging. In the words of Parabola magazine, it "comes through, vibrant and generous, as if we are with him in a room flooded with life."
