I recently learned about the CBC show 'Tapestry,' and it's been a great source of inspiration and thinking about all things faith-oriented.
In her most recent interview with author Karen Armstrong, host Mary Hynes discusses the bible as a source of ageless interpretational wisdom; that in general we should look more to the bible as a source of inspiration for daily living today and less as an historic account of times past.
I think one of the most important points she covers is that as the texts of the various Abrahamic faiths developed, they initially started as interpretive, symbolic, works that were meant to provide an example for people to follow, and not be taken as literally as they are now in some contexts. While there are many ways to learn from the Bible, I think this particular manner has not been given the attention its due.
Again, the parallels to how many Freemasons identify with the Volume of the Sacred Law are numerous, and I thought it would be great to share the podcast with you.
