The Power of Metaphor

If the revealed meaning is the hidden Christ, obviously it's very generative if we use metaphors. The difference between that and God saying my love is like a red, red rose,. he doesn't, but he does say his love is like other metaphorical things. So finding out those hidden generative likenesses is really, really important. And by the way, if you've got a modernist closed approach of reality, you think there's nothing wrong with that whatsoever.
