In Acts, St. Paul talked of prophesy and visions and dreams, and so these are very Christian actions; yes? But in the Roman orator Cicero’s “Dream of Scipio,” Cicero writes of both a vision and a prophesy that was experienced by the pagan Scipio in his dream. This work presented a model of creation and the creator that is very close to what Christians living a century later would profess. Does this mean that pagans and Christians are the same? Does it mean that St. Paul was merely speaking creatively? Or were both telling the actual truth? The ladies of the Mosaic Ark have some ideas. Listen to this week’s stream as we continue our discussion of C.S. Lewis’s The Discarded Image and what we learn from Macrobius’s commentary on Cicero about dreams. And please give us your ideas on the subject in the comments! — Streamed September 19, 2025
