The Parabolic Universe: Hermeneutics

As we continue this mini-series on the parabolic universe, this episode looks specifically at hermeneutics--the study of what the source intends the reader to understand (including translation and explanation).  How do we rightly understand parables and how to apply them?  We look into two ancient schools of thought, and consider Jesus' talk of bread in John 6, the parable of the ten virgins, and the parable of the sower.   This discussion is based off of my new book, The Parabolic Universe, a consideration of how God reveals Himself in nature.
