In his acclaimed Dictionary of All Scriptures and Myths, G.A. Gaskell offers authoritative definitions and clear explanations for over 5,000 terms used in sacred texts of the world's religions and mythologies. The origin, nature, and metaphorical meaning of each concept is thoroughly explored in context, supported with numerous quotations from both ancient and recent sources and authorities, and carefully cross-referenced to other examples. Part dictionary and part encyclopedia, this oversized book is packed with illuminating information and will satisfy the curiosity of spiritual and cultural seekers.
Gaskell is a masterful interpreter of sacred symbols and symbolism, and he explains all the key ones in detail while noting which ones have deeper underlying meanings and how they vary between different religions and countries. Meticulously researched and attractively presented, this invaluable guide is a must-have for comparative religion teachers and scholars.
Dictionary of All Scriptures and Myths belongs in the library of anyone studying sacred writings or reading them as literature, and is an enlightening read for any layman.

Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2020
This book is full of quotations from mostly Christian and Eastern religious writings, with the former predominating. There are 3 to 4 quotes per page, giving a total of approximately 2,900. Most of the quotes have references to other entries on a similar topic. It is very helpful in getting information on a host of religious topics. However, many of the quotes are in the Via Negativa vein. This means renunciation of the personality or the ‘lower self.’ Man’s earthly nature is continually trashed. The other path, the Via Positive is ignored. There are no quotes from followers of the Via Positiva such as William Blake, Kabbalah, and works in the Western esoteric tradition. The Via Positiva is dynamic. It advocates the positive development of our human nature so that it will be a vehicle fit to receive the divine.
