The author interprets the historical passages of the Old Testament in a spiritual sense, convinced that this is "perfectly distinct from the sense of the letter, and yet veiled under it; and that whilst the sens of the letter of the Sacred Records treats only of external and natural things, such as relate to persons, places, and events of this lower world, the internal or spiritual sense treats at the same time of internal or spiritual things, such as relate primarily to JESUS CHRIST Himself, and secondarily to His kingdom in the heavens and His true Church here on earth." - Introduction.John Clowes (1743-1831), Anglican priest, Rector of St. John's, Manchester; Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge; adherent to the views of Swedenborg and translator of some of his works.
