What is poetry? Why were Greek philosophers so wary of it? How do Scripture and the Christian tradition shape our view of it? And why is it like technology? Onsi, Colin, and Rhys consider a Christian approach to poetry in this week's episode, and are glad to find just how gloriously useless poetry can be.
