Episode Thirty-Seven // Conversation with Dr Dan Cooper

Folks, they say you learn something new every day, and I gotta tell ya… I’m not sure that’s true. But TODAY I DEFINITELY DID! I am so pleased to be able to share this conversation with my friend, (the newly doctored) Dan Cooper. Dan’s thesis (“Where Is The Place Of Darkness? A Metaphor Analysis Of Darkness In The Old Testament”) is a wild ride which takes us to unexpected places and, in the end, both clarifies and complicates my own understanding of “darkness” in the scripture. How much can we know of God? How much should we hope to? Is darkness a “thing”, or just the absence of a “thing”? Let’s find out.Oh, and the book that Dan mentioned completely blew his mind? Metaphors We Live By, by Lakoff & Johnson. Get full access to Marc Jolicoeur (aka Jolly Thoughts) at marcjolicoeur.substack.com/subscribe
