    About this audiobook

    Woven from Joseph Campbell's previously unpublished work, this volume explores Judeo-Christian symbols and metaphors—and their misinterpretations—with the famed mythologist's characteristic conversational warmth and accessible scholarship.

    Campbell's insights highlight centuries of confusion between literal and metaphorical interpretations of Western religious symbols that are, he argues, perennially relevant keys to spiritual understanding and mystical revelation.

    Edited by Eugene Kennedy.

      Six-word review: Mythology and spiritual symbolism interpreted metaphorically.Extended review:This is the first volume in a series of compilations of material from the lectures and essays of Joseph Campbell, selected, integrated, and edited by various scholars on behalf of the Joseph Campbell Foundation. As such, it can't be viewed in quite the same light as the books authored by Campbell, although the content and the words are his. It's a little more casual, a bit disjointed, a bit repetitive, and possibly--although this is my own inexpert opinion and may be groundless--a bit muddied in places by the necessity of stitching together pieces of disparate material.It could conceivably be the case that the editor has unwittingly introduced errors and interpretations that don't belong to Campbell. Editing someone else's work is a worthy enterprise, but inevitably fraught with risk. The perils become many times greater when the author is no longer around to answer questions and review his own work.I would have expected, for instance, that Campbell himself would have spoken of the precession and not the procession of the equinoxes; but one way or another, the term appears erroneously on page 44. That is not the only such lapse I noticed in the book.With that caveat in mind, I did enjoy reading this small volume, awed, as ever, by the breadth and depth of Campbell's knowledge, his ability to assimilate vast quantities of material, and his representation of it through the lens of a single clear vision. Any exposure to Campbell's thinking always makes me feel that I have glimpsed other dimensions of being. Even when I fail to retain the perspective gained at a higher elevation, I remember that I've been there.
    • 1/5
      The nature of being a number of disparate talks and essays stitched together into one work results in it being poorly structured and disjointed. It's also prone to more of Campbell's forays off into la-la-land than normal.
