S4E18 - The Book of the Sibyls
Manage episode 425784183 series 2877940
In this episode Chris brings us Opinion Scholarship on the virgin prophetesses of Ancient Greece--the Sibyls. We discuss first-hand spiritual and mystical experiences versus communal one's like those embodied in organized religions, and how they fit together. From here we turn to shamanism and the mystery cults of the ancient world and describe the thread that runs through these and into the realm of the Sibyls. Lastly, we distinguish between the ancient Sibylline Book versus the more modern Sibylline Oracles and explore if either hold genuine foretellings of the coming of Christ.
Enjoy ;)
