Ex Umbris
66 "The Flood" Part 1
In this episode of the Ex Umbris podcast, Scholar McLarney (Dr. Gerard Mclarney) and Schoolman Fawcett (Dr. Brett Fawcett), teachers at the Chesterton Academy of St. Isidore Learning Centre, dive deep into the symbolic meaning of Noah's Ark. They explore the dimensions and materials of the ark as described in Genesis 6:14-16, discussing how these details point to Christ, the Church, and our relationship with God. The hosts examine St. Augustine's interpretations of the ark's measurements and consider how ancient understanding of numbers and proportions add layers of meaning to the biblical text.#NoahsArk #BiblicalSymbolism #Genesis #ChristianEducation #CatholicPodcast #TheologyDiscussion...
