Morehead Thu, 18 Feb 2010 23:22:07 +0000 http://www.theofantastique.com/?p=2147#comment-1346 Sam, thank you for your positive consideration of this interview. I feared it might result in negative Christian backlash, and while this can still come down the line, I hope your comment sets a tone for what may come. In my seminary courses on church history and New Testament I don't remember the topic about which you raise your question, so I can't comment on it. I do think, however, that the issue of apocalyptic is of enormous concern in horror in pop culture, and thoughtful Christians would do well to reassess this beyond the Left Behind nonsense so as to connect apocalyptic in Isaiah and the gospels to these contemporary cultural concerns.

I wonder what you make of the church fathers' notion that Isaiah is 'the Fifth gospel'? Immensely stimulating, thanks.
