At the Anselm Society, we're big fans of The Symbolic World and Jonathan Pageau. We believe deeply that the world is full of meaning and points to the nature of its Creator, and Jonathan is one of the best voices out there for actually unpacking the details of that, as well as telling new stories rooted in the ancient traditions.

They've really been beefing up their learning resources lately, and two recent/upcoming courses are worth your attention.

The Cognitive Science of Ritual unpacks how the ancient church's insights into the role of habit in spiritual formation are actually validated by modern brain science.

Christian Wonder Tales, taught by master mythologist and recent convert Martin Shaw, delves into the great tradition of Christian mythic storytelling--and how to create new stories rooted in it. The opportunity to join live is coming up in November.

We highly commend both these courses to your attention!

And if you're new to Jonathan, check out our podcast with him from a few years ago:
