Today's Students Fail to Grasp Symbols: Gilkey
(u onrmuea from page one)
Preachers must endeavor to put
across their points in the student's
own language because the language
of the St. James Bible is foreign
to the student.”
Other Literature Included
The situation carries over into
the student's appreciation of other
great literature making it diffi
cult, if not impossible, for him to
enjoy. He cannot read Shakespeare
or Kipling with any adequate und
erstanding because our Bible was
a frequent source on which they
depended.
Modern authors too, rely on the
Bible, he said. The works of Arn
old Toynbee are crowded with il
lustrations and extended parables
from the King James Bible.
Contemporary religious illiteracy
is not limited to literature and
Biblical interpretation. The re
ligious illiterate will graduate
from college and find himself in a
situation where he lacks “religious
ballast.” He is either upset or off
balance because he fails to under
stand any of the great truths. He
niay fall victim to religious prose
lyting propaganda, accept the pre
cepts of a faith he does not under
stand, and one day be forced to
meet the ultimate issues of life,
unprepared.
•Learn to Use Symbols’
We must learn to use the sym
bols for that mysterious reality we
cannot fully understand, Dr. Gil
key explained. God is greater
than human speech. We must use
symbols to understand him and his
lessons. The profoundest ex
amples of human loyalty and love
are expressed in this way.
Our relationship with God is
revealed in human relationships at
their best. These relationships
cannot thrive on what some theo
logians define as “Vitamin I"—
setting our own needs and welfare
before those of our fellow beings.
We need more of “Vitamin U.”
interest in others and faith in God.
To achieve our ideal concept of
ourselves, we must learn to recog
nize these truths through the sym
bols in which they are presented,
Dr. Gilkey stated.
