It is often difficult to recognize the spiritual wisdom contained in these narratives because the current scientific worldview is deeply rooted in materialism. Therefore, instead of looking at these stories through the lens of modern academic disciplines, such as sociology, psychology, or the physical sciences, this commentary attempts to interpret the Bible from its own cosmological perspective. By contemplating the ancient biblical model of the universe, The Language of Creation demonstrates why these stories are foundational to western science and civilization. It rediscovers the archaic cosmic patterns of heaven, earth, time, and space, and sees them repeated at different levels of reality. These fractal-like structures are first encountered in the narrative of creation and then in the stories of the Garden of Eden, Cain and Abel, and the flood. The same patterns are also revealed in the visions of Ezekiel, the book of Daniel, and the miracles of Moses. The final result of this contemplation is a vision of the cosmos centered on the role of human consciousness in creation. Review: An eye opening read. I highly recommend it. - I'll definitely need to reread this one! If you like the videos from the Johnathan or Matthieu Pageau, then you'll love this book. It lays out the Pageau brothers approach to understanding symbolism in the bible. Review: Incredible book. Absolutely blowing my mind! Wish the Kindle version worked... - I'm not exaggerating when I say this book has completely changed my conception of the world. I feel like I can now see the fundamental patterns of existence as they emerge and express in nested relationships, at and across every level of experience. I love the way he structures it and that the chapters are so bite-sized and digestible, which is good because the concepts take a little time to settle. Some other reviewers have bemoaned the fact that there are no references to sources, i.e. how does he know this stuff?? But that's what makes this a singular work is that it doesn't rely on "outside sources". That's because the whole premise of the book is to understand and interpret Biblical cosmology on its own terms. Pageau is only pointing out what can be reasonably deduced and extrapolated from the patterns setup in the Genesis story itself. Who pointed it out to him? Maybe he was just meant to see it. And that's what makes him a genius. My only disappointment has nothing to do with the text, but simply the fact that even though desertcart allows me to purchase the Kindle version, when I go to open it on my Kindle, I get the error that it is not compatible with the device (see pic). Although, I must confess, there was something very nice about having this particular book in hardcopy, despite the fact that Kindle is my preferred reading mode now. I even like the cover and color scheme of the hardcopy. There is a strange light that emanates from this text. I can't explain it. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #120,403 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #150 in Old Testament Commentaries | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 916 Reviews | ## Images ![The Language of Creation: Cosmic Symbolism in Genesis: A Commentary - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/516+zKz54ZL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An eye opening read.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This book is what I was hoping it would be *by A***R on April 5, 2022* I recently began feeling a major pull to break away from the influence of Enlightenment rationalism and into the ancient mindset when approaching the Bible, but did not know where to begin. Authors and speakers like Dr. Michael Heiser and Jonathan Pageau played a part in solidifying that, but I still didn't know where to begin to better think on those terms for myself. I watched Jonathan and Matthieu's discussion about symbolism and thought this book sounded like what I was looking for. Most of the time when people tell you about the symbolic meaning of the Bible, they are implying that the descriptions are merely figurative, mythologized renderings of a (possibly) historical event. Well, every year new discoveries force many of them to "eat their words" ;). While laying the groundwork for a kind universal hermeneutics of symbolism, the author is careful to remind readers that "symbolic" does not mean fictional, but rather it refers to the unity of meaning and fact across multiple scales of reality. An atheist reader might continue believing that the Bible is mythology having read this book, but I suspect that they will recognize that it certainly is not merely that. As a Christian, I've found that the ideas presented in this book have added layers of depth to the theology and narratives of the Bible, and even given me new lenses to examine the world itself. There is no explicit mention of the Gospel or Christ, but there are clues along the way as to how to understand Christ in relation to this symbolic view. The first 1/3 of the book to me made it worth buying. The space/time dichotomy is certainly interesting, but it didn't resonate as much with me until it started to all come together near the end. - This is not what I would normally call a commentary in the sense that it doesn't go along with the text of Genesis. The references span the Tanakh (OT). Because of this, I feel like some Biblical literacy is highly beneficial if not necessary to get the most out of this book. - The lack of citations can be off-putting, but would probably only serve to clutter the text. The author instead appeals to observable reality and the use of biblical examples to validate his claims. - Many times, I found myself questioning something, only to have it explained paragraphs later as if this was done intentionally. If you read this with an open mind and work under the assumption that the author's interpretations are valid, it goes a lot smoother. Still, certain things are just said as if they are self evident when they aren't, or proven when they haven't been demonstrated. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Language of Creation: Cosmic Symbolism in Genesis: A Commentary - St. Ephrem the Syrian: Hymns On Paradise - On the Cosmic Mystery of Jesus Christ: Selected Writings from St. Maximus the Confessor (St. Vladimir's Seminary Press "Popular Patristics" Series) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/66065524-the-language-of-creation-cosmic-symbolism-in-genesis-a-commentary](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/66065524-the-language-of-creation-cosmic-symbolism-in-genesis-a-commentary) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
