g it. Indeed there is a Christian saying from the old Keswick
movement that parallels the Tao Te Ching, "let go and let God." Maybe
too, if I am at all correct, this is why Christians latched on to the
Aeneid as almost a Christian poem.
What am I saying? A
sented as a leader. I would like to know what the rest of
you think as to why Virgil presented Aeneas in this way. Is Aeneas'
leadership presented by Virgil as a new kind of leadership? Why do
Aeneas' followers follow him with so much trust?

and
what I have consciously or unconsciously felt about Aeneas. Martin shows
why the Christian world, for so long, regarded the Aeneid as a

Dear Helen,
Thank you so much for a response with your work in progress. It
is interesting how following the "vicissitudes" of the Fourth Eclogue

g VIRGIL came into vogue, thus associating the great poet with
the magic or prophetic wand, VIRGA." (Just a note here too, some time ago
on the list there was a discussion of the spellings of Virgil's name. I
don't believe this explanation of Clyde Phaar&#x
tably to God. Dante's
implication is that Virgil is poet, prophet, hermeneutist, philosopher,
and theologian.
What would happen if we took Virgil in this way today? If the
Italian Humanist position outlined above is true, it is no wonder Virgil
became a magician of sorts in Medieval ey
worth the price of the book.
Interesting too the comment that Dante knew the whole Aeneid. Virgil is
indeed the power behind Dante.

Or call Juno at

Calvin Theological Seminary, made the Kingdom of God the focus of how
they taught Biblical and Systematic theology. I was always troubled by
this reduction. I saw it as a "nothing 'but-ery'."
Thanks again.

My point is, Epicurus may be in all probability a key here to
