But finishing it and reading it's final conclusion on this anniversary of the Capital Insurrection was striking.
Oswalt bases his discussion on a distinction between those systems of thought based around continuity and those around transcendence. That is, systems where the spiritual/divine exists as part of, or continuous with, the rest of the cosmos, and systems where it exists outside of, or transcends, the rest of the cosmos.
It is this distinction in Oswalt's view that is the basis for the infamous linear historicity of the biblical religions (versus the generally acknowledged circularity common to others), which in turn leads to the various generally acknowledge differences between the biblical and nonbiblical systems (in terms of practice, ethics, etc.).
What I found particularly poignant tonight was Oswalt's intimation that one can do as Joseph Campbell suggested -- and use the language and outer-rhetorical garb of the Bible, to think and approach the world in a manner fundamentally similar to the rest of the world (ie, as the particular set of symbols in a fundamentally continuous mindset). And that as our society shifted to do just this, and to in many respects keep the rhetorical garb of "western christendom," while abandoning the fundamental structure behind it, we should expect to see certain, fairly specific shifts in behavior and societal norms.
Shifts, that yes, we've seen on the far end of the spectrum which makes no bones about abandoning the biblical system -- but shifts that we've also clearly seen among those who are happily cladding a biblical veneer to a nonbiblical structure.
