Fw: [Blog] Gold mine!

Dear Father Donald,

You have opened up for me a wonderful resource in the you tube presentation on the mysticism of Meister Eckhart by (the great) Bernard McGinn - a veritable 'lecture library'! I can never find adequate time to fulfil all the spiritual study I desire, but this is so accessible... the Philosophy link is a library in itself! I will savour these articles and links you provide (especially the presentations on Eckhart), thank you!

I am delighting in the consideration of the place of allegorical interpretation - especially: "Ambrose and Hilary use allegorical techniques in order to get away from a semantical reading of the Bible. They regard Scripture as a crystal being able to reflect interpretations Christological or ecclesiastical issues."

You open up so many fascinating avenues - your Blog is itself a gold mine!

...  in Our Lord,

William
