Sublime
An inspiration engine for ideas
In the 14th century, Dante laid out 4 levels of meaning: allegorical, anagogical, historical, and moral. I wonder if you could simplify this to 3: formal analysis (the work itself), moral analysis (the stakes of agreeing and implementing the ideas of the piece), and historical analysis (the macro environment the piece was created within).
I will argue that the postmodern church could do nothing better than be ancient, that the most powerful way to reach a postmodern world is by recovering tradition, and that the most effective means of discipleship is found in liturgy.
