Defeated by Greater Beings, a Mytho-Poetic Reading of Jacob
Hints and Guesses - A podcast by Kent Dobson

What is meant by the mytho-poetic power of story? What about the Bible? In this episode I discuss different levels or ways of reading the stories of the Bible, including the mythic, where the real power resides. I turn over the Jacob story in an attempt to dive into the mytho-poetic realm. This kind of approach to this story works on the level of transformation, which is what all great stories take us to the edge of. What is true both within and without about being human? Let me know what you think and if there is a story you’d like me to dive into next.
