In this episode I provide some foundation for your study of Emerson and Thoreau. Though I cover a lot of ground, there is still much, much more to study. These are not easy texts, so my goal is to give you the foundations you need to properly engage with the texts rather than, as with some of the prior readings, walking you through them point by point. As you listen, consider how the ideas in the texts challenge your understanding of the world, reality, and worship. By seeing these concepts as a living part of our world, you will undoubtedly find yourself returning to them throughout the rest of your life.
