The Bridal Paradigm: When a bishop gawked at a sex symbol
Manage episode 414400071 series 3434249
In the 4th century, Bishop Nonnus was asked why, when a beautiful woman passed him by, he stood and stared while the other bishops looked away. Nonnus' answer provides us insight as we dive deeper and deeper in the mystery of bridal intimacy and covenant union with God (the mysterious one). Tune in to this episode of "Voices from the Desert" as we dive into the ramfications of Nonnus' observation and what it means as we explore the mystical literature of Christianity!
