## Resource

What if understanding the Bible requires more than simply reading the words on the page? In this special episode of Shadows to Substance, Pastor George Sayour is joined by C.R. Wiley to explore the idea of biblical imagination—and why modern Christians can struggle to recognize the stories, types, prophecies, symbols, and word pictures woven throughout Scripture. How does the Bible train us to see the world? Why did earlier generations often think more naturally in terms of story and typology? And how does God use real history to reveal realities that point beyond themselves? George and C.R. discuss Tolkien, Narnia, the Aeneid, Acts 9, technology, Apple, artificial intelligence, transhumanism, and humanity’s ancient temptation to seize knowledge and become like God. This conversation may change the way you think about reading Scripture. https://canonpress.com/products/manma...
