In this episode of What is the Word? Alyssa and Cory talk about Emanuel Swedenborg's approach to deciphering the mystical book of Revelation from the Bible. We also discuss Jordan Peterson, different ways to approach reading scripture, and how we are all influenced by our own or someone else's contextual lens when interpreting holy texts.
