Athanasius Contra Corundum!
BTW, I've been trying to encourage FReepers to make a distinction between categories and genres--- dogma, doctrine, devotional/mystical literature, pious opinion, and poetry --- when seeking the meaning of religious expressions. In this li'l essay I tried to compare Marian devotional literature and courtly poetry, followed up with THIS (#2555) but I wasn't able to spark any discussion on it at all. :o(
What do you think? :o)
Well I think you've nailed it.
"Nailed it"... What would your Zorgian think of that phrase? How would he even have any context to decipher it? And even if he did arrive at a correct understanding would he know that it's supposed to call the mind back to Martin Luther? Would he then read too much into the phrase?
Zorgians need more than context, context, context. They need an interpreter to guide them. We say that interpreter is properly the Church.
That's about all I can think at 5:30 in the morning. My wife started working 250 miles away from home in January and she has to leave this early on Mondays to get to work on time. Pray our house sells soon.
