[Oe List ...] Salmon: Response to dandy Randy

[William Salmon]

You're a dandy Randy!
    I suppose that is different from being a randy Dandy. Whatever. 
    The quote re: Knox is tremendous and worthy of a quote box near everyone's computer. 
    Inner Peas, 
    Bill Salmon

  Subject: [Oe List ...] Event and Story Quote re literalism


  Thanks, Randy. I made a small poster of your quote and am going to hang it by my computer while writing a book about my 99-year-old mother's life.The first six chapters are on my blog, http://jannsjewels.blogspot.com. 

  By the way, you can read an excerpt from Illness as Initiation: An Unlikely Heroine's Journey at http://booklocker.com/books/5100.html.

  Love all the interesting discussions going on now. 

  Blessings,
  Jann

    If you go back to the John Knox paper "The Event and the Story," he tells us that every "true" story, like the Christ story, has three elements; the historical (what happened), the ontological (what significance it had) and the mythological (how it was "freighted" metaphorically, etc.) and that the story is not complete if any one of these is missing.
