Frygian Kerygma: The Invitation To Capaciousness



As the myths and metaphors of Scripture gradually become, for us, myths and metaphors we can live by and in, that not only work for us but constantly expand our horizons, we may enter the world of proclamation and pass on to others what we have found to be true for ourselves. When we encounter a quite different vision in, say, a Buddhist, a Jew, a Confucian, an atheist, or whatever, there can still be what is called dialogue, and mutual understanding, based on a sense that there is plenty of room in the mind of God for us both.

~ Northrop Frye, The Double Vision, 18.
