I am, unfortunately, not convinced by geocentrism if we're speaking of it as someone like Robert Sungenis sees it. While we are free to see the cosmos chiefly in relation to our own place on earth (in fact, I'm apt to see my own armchair as the precise center of the universe), there's no way to get around (pardon the pun) smaller celestial bodies, such as planets, moving around larger ones, such as stars.The Modern Medievalisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07238571174836044412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6574198575168538104.post-39227016004128390082015-07-31T06:47:49.281-05:002015-07-31T06:47:49.281-05:00Second step just might be to embrace a little Medi...Second step just might be to embrace a little Medieval Thought.<br /><br />Like a literal belief in Genesis 1 - 11, like Geocentrism (with God moving the whole cosmos and angels moving each star or planet), like accepting Pagan Heroes as having lived and Iliad, Odyssey, Aeneid, Beowulf as mainly speaking history.<br /><br />Of course, when Odyssey opens with a scene on Mt Olympus, we cannot quite buy that, but we can buy Ulysses (not Grant) after Troy came to Ethiopia, after having been to the island of Calypso, unless it was the other way round.<br /><br />Btw, you and your readers (and wife, perhaps not yet your children?) are welcome to <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/428701933865784/" rel="nofollow">FB : Was Ithaca an Island in Odyssey?</a>Hans Georg Lundahlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01055583255516264955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6574198575168538104.post-77036087561589860202012-10-03T00:07:22.304-05:002012-10-03T00:07:22.304-05:00The purpose of this blog is to explore and answer ...The purpose of this blog is to explore and answer that very question. I'm working on articles about the modern medievalists (see the right-hand column) first in order to work up to how to apply their strategies in the (even more) modern world today.<br /><br />The first step is in embracing the medieval ethos in faith. If we make it the center of our world, as they did in theirs, everything else falls into place much more easily.The Modern Medievalisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07238571174836044412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6574198575168538104.post-19093319830192468612012-10-01T20:57:51.501-05:002012-10-01T20:57:51.501-05:00Excellent work, Mr. Griffin.

I am actually quite serious. I think that the answer lay somewhere between Pugin and William Morris: not only loving the medieval, but making it where you are. Perhaps one day we will discuss it.Maldonnoreply@blogger.com
