The Secret of the Creation
"The Secret of the Creation" by Howard D. Pollyen is a theological and philosophical work centered around the themes of creation and redemption, likely written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the origins of the universe and humanity from a perspective that intertwines spiritual beliefs with a creation narrative that emphasizes the eternal battle between good and evil, personified by the figures of Jehovah and Satan. It reflects on the nature of existence, morality, and the divine plan for humanity, suggesting a deeply mystical and allegorical approach to storytelling. The text comprises two main chapters that explore the creation of the heavens and the earth, alongside the story of the first humans, Adam and Eve. It describes the emergence of light and darkness and outlines Jehovah's intentions in creating life, including the formation of souls and living beings. The fall of humanity, as Eve is tempted by the serpent, leads to their expulsion from paradise, marking a pivotal moment in the narrative. Through its poetic language and vivid imagery, the book examines the interplay of divine love, sacrifice, and the consequences of human choices, positioning itself as a treatise on salvation and spiritual awakening amidst cosmic conflict.
