The standard story goes, we once were naive and believed in transcendent things, but now we don’t and believe only in facts. I don’t think that’s right. History instead is the passage from the transcendent, to the intelligible, to the inhabitable. The things we once saw as transcendent are now not only understood, we live inside them. Technology makes the transcendent real, and liveable. I’m going to share a few examples of this. First, Biblical miracles.
