Podcast: The Symbolic Structure of the Beatitudes
This podcast, which isn’t devoted to Christian issues, but in symbolism across various traditions, maybe helpful for us in that these heterodox methods of looking at Scripture can help us shuck off our churchese sayings and vernacular when conversing with non-Christians and reach for language that speaks to folks of diverse beliefs and backgrounds.
The Symbolic World: Jonathan Pageau explores the meaning of the Beatitudes in Matthew 5. These famous passages can help us understand how Christ is not only the “top of the hierarchy”, so to speak, but He also fills it, and provides the means for others to participate in creation as microcosms of Himself. It’s also important to understand the surrounding context of the Beatitudes and how they fit into the bigger image of who Christ is.
