To interpret Scripture correctly, the reader must be attentive to what the human authors truly wanted to affirm, and to what God wanted to reveal to us by their words.75 110 In order to discover the sacred authors' intention, the reader must take into account the conditions of their time and culture, the literary genres in use at that time, and the modes of feeling, speaking and narrating then current. "For the fact is that truth is differently presented and expressed in the various types of historical writing, in prophetical and poetical texts, and in other forms of literary expression."76 111 But since Sacred Scripture is inspired, there is another and no less important principle of correct interpretation, without which Scripture would remain a dead letter.

a kaleidoscope of light "Thus, when--out of my delight in the beauty of the house of God--the loveliness of the many colored gems has called me away from external cares, and worthy meditation has induced me to reflect, transferring that which is material to that which is immaterial, on the diversity of the sacred virtues: then it seems to me that I see myself dwelling, as it were, in some strange region of the Universe which neither exists entirely in the slime of the earth nor entirely in the purity of Heaven; and that, by the grace of God, I can be transported from this inferior to that higher world in an anagogical manner. So spoke the Abot Suger upon the completion of the cathedral at St Denis in the early 12th C. When we added a 2nd floor to this 1950s ranch, the owner asked that we incorporate art glass windows into the project. The windows we chose are replicas, made under license to the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, of those used by Wright at the Unity Temple in Oak Park. These windows are placed at triangular bay spaces that extend beyond the wall of the home and are sheltered by the broad overhangs. The most prominent of these is the 2 story bay at the stair. These south facing windows bring an abundance of light into the home.
15-117 Dante's Inferno II Lead: After Dante was banished from Florence in 1302, he wrote his great masterpiece, The Divine Comedy. By writing it in Italian, the language of the people, he helped drag readers out of their slavish devotion to Latin. Intro.: A Moment in Time with Dan Roberts. Content: Active in political and cultural life in Florence, Alighieri Dante was banished from his beloved city after a rival political faction achieved power. He spent the next twenty years in exile, moving from town to town in northern Italy, being honorably received by aristocrats, and working on his most important writings. Dante shaped The Divine Comedy for years before he actually began the writing in 1308 and completed it shortly before his death in 1321 in the city-state of Ravenna. The work grew out of the poets frustration and deep disappointment with the struggle for supremacy between, in his view, a too overtly political papacy and the Holy Roman Emperors. Dante was the first major poet to write in Italian rather than in Latin, which traditionally was the language of the Church. He hoped that Italians would take pride in such a work written in the vernacular and this would help bring an end to the factional strife on the peninsula. The Divine Comedy is an epic poem of prodigious size, one hundred rhyming cantos. Dante himself is the main character and describes his journey through hell, purgatory, and finally, heaven. His guides are illustrious figures such as the Roman poet Virgil and the ever ...
