To my own surprise, I keep returning to the Bible, a book that allures and repulses, inspires and confronts. The archetypes, stories, symbols and metaphors are like a bridge between the transcendent and nameless, and the ordinary and mundane. I don't think the Biblical narrative has runs its course when it comes to meaning. In fact, the way we misunderstood, dismissed, derided and ignored the great stories has contributed to more narcissism and nihilism and loss of meaning. We've lost the plot. In this series, I hope to recover some of the ancient wisdom that runs like a mysterious thread of meaning from antiquity to the present.
