This is a repost from an interview I did a month ago on Seraphim Hamilton's YouTube channel. Seraphim is Orthodox and does a lot of Biblical analysis and theology-themed videos. In this discussion, he asked me about my work and approach to symbolism in Christianity, theology, and universal history. We also spoke about the current moment, the Son of Man, and the beauty of Scripture. - Original interview on Seraphim's channel: https://youtu.be/C9pNpJxY3kQ - Seraphim's channel: https://www.youtube.com/@Kabane/featured - Universal history playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVX4HUUPrIY_M2uZP3yW6EEiod3fGD6FD - My links: https://linktr.ee/jonathanpageau
