Episode 122.1: John Milton's Nativity Ode
The Humanists take on John Milton's early poem "Nativity Ode" for this year's Christmas episode. Milton's poem is a theologically and literarily rich take on the birth of Christ differs significantly from post-Puritan versions of Christmas, and its strange blend of idol-smashing and cosmic vision make for a fun Christmas read. Among the ideas, poetic devices, and other realities engaged are the sympathetic fallacy (or pathetic fallacy), mythology theory, Trinitarian theology, and actus dei.
