What Does the Bible

Mean by That?

The Bible

Read it to be wise. Study it to understand. LIVE it to know that the Christ walks through same with thee. For, as He gave, in righteousness may ye know those things that have been preserved from the foundations of the worlds in thine own experience. - 262-60 Edgar Cayce

When I was in sixth grade, a missionary came to our school and offered a prize to the one who learned all the books of the Bible. I did and I won. At age 13 I began reading the Bible in earnest and read it completely through. Of course, I didn’t understand a lot of what I read and found the story of Lot and his daughters so embarrassing that I hid the Bible when I saw my father coming. Yet, the Bible has always held a great fascination for me. When I began hearing celestial music in the 1960’s it was to passages from the Bible. Though I was a theater major at Fordham University, my fascination with the Bible led me to religion as a minor and eventually to a doctorate in religion at Union. The first book: Genesis, and the last book, The Revelation, fascinated me. Later I learned that the sleeping Edgar Cayce had recommended reading those two books together because they were the same story and everything else in-between was a variation on the theme. Besides the songs, which touched on almost every book of the Bible, my first extended work was my musical on The Revelation that manifested as a full-blown gift given to me. My work on Genesis, the book: Let There Be Light, Creation and Evolution in the Bible was more involved and included a line by line analysis of every word.
