The Evangelical Subversion of Myth

Gregory Thornberry: I was looking forward in that essay called the Evangelical Subversion of Myth. He said, if Pharisees were not the highest mode of religious life yet attained by man, it could not stand for every other form. And he says that perpetual denying impacts by restricting to Judaism the consequences of the Christian revelation wanted to divert from themselves. The role of Judaism as representative of humanity as a whole is one with the idea frequently repeated in the New Testament itselfthat the election of Israel never has and never will be canceled. We'll talk a little bit more about mythology, the cycle of violence, the tension between myth and truth next week.
