Big ideas from the Bible
Why are doves and sheep associated with goodness, while snakes and goats often have negative connotations? Sometimes an idea or image comes from more than just one source.
The Big ideas articles explain how such images and concepts have developed from teachings found in the Bible, a text which has been a major influence on the development of Western culture. They include examples of ways in which these ideas permeate literary works.
