I have been learning and continue to learn how to spiritually read the paradigm of creation—incarnation—re-creation through this “old way,” the story-formed hermeneutic of the faith—the story of how God recapitulates the world (creatures and creation) and wins it back to himself to fulfill all his creational purposes. Learning how to read Scripture spiritually prepares you to do ancient-future worship, a worship true to the apostolic tradition.
