CommentsOne of our most distinguished citizens, John Bigelow, was, above all, dedicated to the improvement of the human condition. Throughout his long life he was engaged in public affairs - active in prison reform, Consul to France during the Civil War, founder of the New York Public Library, co-owner and managing editor of the New York Evening Post, biographer, and profile writer. He was an intellectual described as a "common-sense" mystic. Shrewdly practical, worldly, yet with otherworldly interests; a natural aristocrat who believed in democracy - such a man was Bigelow. THE BIBLE THAT WAS LOST AND IS FOUND is a fascinating narrative. Written for his family and friends, this is a personal testimony to Emanuel Swedenborg, whose revelations made it possible for the author to discover the true meaning of the Bible. It is a story of spiritual progress - a faith regained. It is particularly relevant for those who want to believe in the Bible, and to find the key which unlocks hidden mysteries of divine revelation."I am thy servant, give me understanding, that I may know thy testimonies" Psalm 118 :125
