Lewis having at it, although I'm always inclined to think that what writers created is going to be richer than what they say about what they wrote. What I really want somebody to produce -- with all the wonderful special effects now possible -- is a Glastonbury trilogy, with Celtic mythology, Joseph of Arimathea, the Holy Grail, Arthur, Merlin et al. As a side note, I wish the single moms well in their quest.Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10390520378325352403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16201378.post-1137866495851329412006-01-21T13:01:00.000-05:002006-01-21T13:01:00.000-05:00Ah, Ron, that is wonderfully helpful.

As such they sought to creating "meaningful myths" for modern "man." Its interesting that the Professor of Anglo-Saxon and the history English Lit. reached deep into Christianity and found Zoroastrianism. Not that Jews and Christians had not already adapted it for their use some 2 millenia ago. I distinguish the two by claiming Zoroastrianism is a dualism which holds a provisional monotheism: one God of two, Ahura Mazada will win the cosmic combat in the end...and then there shall be one. Christianity on the other hand is a monteism which holds to a provisional dualism: There is One God, but two powers at work in the cosmic conflict that God is engendering at this time. This is our Zoroastrian heritage a war between the powers of Light and Darkness.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
