Symbolism and Worldview – Through New Eyes

Symbolism is not some secondary concern, some mere curiosity. In a very real sense, symbolism is more important than anything else for the life of man. Our symbols create and reinforce our worldview. They pattern our thoughts and lives, often in ways we are not consciously aware. Jordan argues that, “general cultural renewal is impossible apart from recovering the symbolic worldview of the Bible.” (p. 38)

We discuss three special symbols:

  1. Word
  2. Sacrament
  3. Person
