Sex Symbolism in Religion V1 (LARGE PRINT EDITION) is a book written by James Ballantyne Hannay that explores the role of sexuality in various religions. The book is divided into two volumes, with the first volume focusing on the symbolism of sex in ancient religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism, and Egyptian mythology. Hannay argues that these religions used sexual imagery to represent spiritual concepts and that understanding these symbols is essential to understanding the religions themselves. The large print edition of the book is designed for those who may have difficulty reading smaller print, making it more accessible to a wider audience. The book is written in a scholarly style and includes extensive references and footnotes to support Hannay's arguments. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of religion and the role of sexuality in spiritual practices.(LARGE PRINT EDITION) 1922. Hannay writes, All the ideas in the Bible, the nature of the Gods, the stories of creation, miracles, life and death, the manner of sacrificing, worshipping, vowing, building alters, arks, tabernacles, and temples, the sacrifices or feasts in these temples, their dress, altar furniture, and symbolism, in fact the entire religion as taught us in the Bible, are absolutely and totally founded upon and saturated with Phallism; and the Phallic cult is that on which Christianity has been founded. Phallism is sex symbolism, and all creative power in a god is symbolized by the actual facts of creation of life in nature by means of the organs of sex. And in the preface to his book on Christianity he wrote, Any work on the symbolism of religion, without treating its phallic basis, would be like Hamlet without the Prince of Denmark.
