“He who knows the meaning of my words shall not know death.” That line might as well be the epigraph for Geoffrey Hodson’s Hidden Wisdom in the Holy Bible. This is not a book for the small-minded, for those who seek a religion of closed doors and mistake a long beige hallway for revelation. It is for seekers who sense that we are quantum beings, and that scripture isn’t a cage but a constellation—an initiatory map encrypted in allegory and symbol.
To read the Bible literally is to flatten the wave into oblivion. To read it esoterically is to glimpse what the Library of Alexandria once held in abundance: gnosis that soul and cosmos are mirrors, and that sacred text is a ritual operating system for awakening. Hodson retrieves fragments of that current—hidden wisdom that had to be crammed through cracks, smuggled across centuries while empires tried to standardize mystery into dogma.
There’s a wink here toward Alexander the Great’s legendary quest for the Emerald Tablet, the eternal “as above, so below” cipher of cosmic truth. And a reminder that even at the Council of Nicaea, as radical fervor swept the empire, the quantum magic was never fully extinguished—it lingered, encrypted in the very stories that zeal sought to simplify.
The Christ story itself becomes an initiatory journey, a path through death and descent toward transfiguration. Hodson shows how Biblical symbols encode not just theology but psychospiritual practice for those with eyes to see.
And look—full disclosure: I have a religious studies degree from Indiana University, so I clearly (maybe?) kind of know what I’m talking about. Or maybe I just like to make shit weird. Either way, this book lights up those hidden frequencies and reminds us: revelation has always been stranger than literalism.

Excellent book! It is a great example of interpreting scripture as spiritual versus literal.

Hodson was a priest in the Major Orders of The Liberal Catholic Church (LCC). I was only in the Minor Orders of The Liberal Catholic Church - International branch. You will have to be familiar with LCC people to understand....
Hodson is more difficult to read than Wedgwood and Cooper, is as mystical as Besant, and is even more complex than Leadbeater. Of course, he writes as convincingly and as articulately as all of them, but this was a TOUGH read. It certainly is far more satisfying than fundamentalist Christianity, even if I can't believe or relate to much from Hodson.
This, however, makes up for everything:
No sincere cry for light is ever uttered in vain. (page 225)
