The King Arthur myth is unique in two key ways. First, it was born in a Christian world. In this way, it is not like The Iliad, The Odyssey, or The Aeneid which were created without Christian roots. Those other myths are powerful stories and offer key insights into human nature. But the Arthur myth is not from the pagan world. It is a Christian epic. It has a wide range of tales and some are more Christian than others but the basic outline of King Arthur has numerous Christian themes.

Second, the King Arthur myth is rooted in English language and culture. Other epics like the Divine Comedy are Christian but are not original to English. This means the King Arthur myth reveals something important about English that we cannot learn through those other myths. Just as the Iliad reveals Greek culture so King Arthur reveals English culture. The English language is also bound up in the myth in such a way that there is something deeply English about it. To speak English is to walk in the same world as King Arthur.

If you want to dig into this Christian myth, I highly recommend the Idylls of the King by Alfred Lord Tennyson. It is accessible and also taps into the many profound themes of Arthur: godly rulers, betrayal, forgiveness, and consolation. And it points vividly to our ultimate hope in the returning king.

Contributing Editor @SamuelMKimzey writes "On Reformed and Romanist Epistemologies" @AmReformer.

My latest at @AmReformer: On Reformed and Romanist Epistemologies.

"Both Roman Catholics and Reformed have a distinct epistemological or hermeneutical principle from which their theological corpus derives, and these principles are irreconcilable to one another. Acknowledging this divergence is necessary and beneficial for all those who wish to have fruitful dialogue and debate with one another across the divide."

The attitude of all who love truth.

“If any man is able to convince me and show me that I do not think or act right, I will gladly change; for I seek the truth, by which no man was ever injured. But he is injured who abides in his error and ignorance.”

- Marcus Aurelius (Meditations, Book VI.22)
