Book Description
This study examines the physical form and cultic function of the biblical cherubim. Previous studies of the cherubim have placed too great an emphasis on archaeological and etymological data. This monograph presents a new synthetic study, which prioritises the evidence supplied by the biblical texts. Biblical exegesis, using literary and historical-critical methods, forms the large part of the investigation (Part I). The findings arising from the exegetical discussion provide the basis upon which comparison with etymological and archaeological data is made (Parts II and III). The results suggest that traditions envisaging the cherubim as tutelary winged quadrupeds, with one head and one set of wings, were supplanted by traditions that conceived of them as more enigmatic, obeisant beings. In the portrayal of the cherubim in Ezekiel and Chronicles, we can detect signs of a conceptual shift that prefigures the description of the cherubim in post-biblical texts, such as The Songs of the Sabbath Sacrifice and the Enochic texts.

Book Description
The truth lays dormant; labeled as fiction. Obscured by the hurried desire to explain celestial and geological events in terms of the times; events were given character and portrayed as people who were then transformed into Gods. Patiently, the truth waits within our lore. Science Within reveals the true meanings to the stories of mythology and Bible. Its main focus is on the Earth's Core and how this object shows up in the ancient writings and modern, scientific observations both local and celestial.
