Reading Genesis Like a Pagan, Part 6: I Want to Sucker-punch Genesis (Video)

This is the final of six lessons I’ve done on Reading Genesis like a pagan… which means reading Genesis not with a modern scientific lens, but with an understanding that Genesis was written to preach a Biblical Worldview in a pagan context. It is shaped to be particularly meaningful in that context as a counter to pagan ways of understanding God, Man, and Reality. This last session is an experiment where I try to use the movie Sucker Punch as an illustration of what it means to write a history that has controlling metaphors in it.
