Summary
<p>Literally, though, how do we read stuff? It's a question we rarely ask seriously, but it's an ancient one with profound implications for art, faith, and morality. This week I'm presenting an ancient distinction between literal and allegorical reading that helps to get past simplistic modern bickering over merely material truths. Carrying forward our conversation in art, this is a theme that will help guide the show in 2024.</p> <p>Check out our sponsor, the Ancient Language Institute: <a href="https://ancientlanguage.com/youngheretics/">https://ancientlanguage.com/youngheretics/</a></p> <p>Sign up to be in the mailbag: <a href="https://rejoiceevermore.substack.com/">https://rejoiceevermore.substack.com/</a></p> <p>Pick up my book, How to Save the West: <a href="https://a.co/d/9S57cfh">https://a.co/d/9S57cfh</a></p>
