I look at 3 stanzas in St. Ephrem’s book ‘Hymns on Paradise’, as well as some of my recent videos about Scripture and a short text from the Gospel of St. Matthew about St. Peter walking on water. Hopefully this video can give listeners a clue as to how I draw different texts together to think about symbolism in Scripture.
