Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Spiritual Sense in Sacred Legend The sacred legends reviewed are all related to the Bible - they refer to its characters, or amplify its incidents, or interpret its doctrines. They have been drawn from a well-defined area. There has been no attempt to introduce at any length the illuminating records unearthed by recent archaeological discoveries in Assyria and Egypt, nor to discuss seriously how far the thread of legend has woven itself into the text of the Old and New Testaments. To endeavour to do so would have led me outside my main purpose, and beyond the range of my own information. I have aimed at being an interpreter.
