Scripture: The Key to Reality w/ Symbolic World (starts in ONE HOUR!)

www.thesymbolicworld.com/courses/scripture-the-key… (Attend live or watch recordings at any time)

I am very excited to announce that, beginning on June 10 (though you can view the course lectures at any point and gain equal benefit), I will be offering a course through Symbolic World: "Scripture: The Key to Reality."‍

Even for those raised in the Church, delving into the Bible can be daunting. The Bible has its own distinctive grammar and language which is, on the surface, very different from the philosophical language of dogmatic theology.

The language in which Scripture is written is the language of liturgy .

Scripture is the story of how God, through the Divine Logos, fashioned the world as a Body for Himself.

It is the story of how the architecture of this temple was planned and executed through the collaboration of divine and human agency. It is a story which is at once intensely concrete - drawing into itself blood, dirt, trees, fruit, animal skins, fig leaves - from the bejeweled earth to the starry Heaven - but richly theological, elaborating in all its details the pattern by which God stepped into the world through the Incarnation of the Son of God.

Students will emerge from the course with a deepened appreciation of how the liturgical life of the Church is the ongoing heartbeat of the Incarnate Word, shaped out of the tapestry of biblical language.

They will see how, once the grammar of Scripture is appreciated on its own terms, it enfolds within itself all the classic categories of dogmatic theology, unveiling a God whose infinite transcendence is unveiled in the splendor of His immanent presence in every creature through Jesus Christ.

This class will benefit anyone with an interest in the world of the Bible.
