What Is Interpretive Maximalism?

Read the Introduction to “Through New Eyes”

The Nature of Symbols (Chapter 1)

God’s Symbolic Economy (Chapter 2)

In chapter two of Through New Eyes, Jordan argues that the Bible is fundamentally symbolic because its symbols: sun, moon, stars, heavens, lions, lambs, etc., and everything else helps us interpret God’s creation.

This book is about symbolism and its applications, but chapter 3 of TNE is like a primer on symbolism and worldview. So, I would send folks to this chapter if they wanted a succinct book summary.
