Mythical Vision
Erich Wimberly
Is it possible that some myths are true? CS Lewis believed that Christianity was the true myth of which ancient mythologies were merely a shadow. This podcast explores the grand narrative of the Bible by taking into account the ancient supernatural worldview. Reality is stranger than fiction. Ironically modern sensibilities have reduced Christianity to a bullet point belief system of facts, concepts, and precepts thereby rendering the story too impotent to capture the imagination and heart of a high tech generation. A story that's too small and too boring isn't worth living in; subsequently Western Civilization pursues new myths which upon investigation only serve to validate the archetypes of the original Biblical narrative.
