Noah's Ark to Peter's Boat: Typology in the Sistine Ceiling (#387)
[DONATE WITH PAYPAL] Building on his episode about Michelangelo's Creation of Adam (#385, "God's Finger"), Greg shifts focus to the nearby Deluge panel on the Sistine Chapel ceiling, where Noah's Ark resembles a Roman basilica, symbolizing the Church as salvation in a perishing world. Contrasting modern views of the Church as a social club or cultural mirror, he unpacks biblical typology from Genesis to Peter’s boat miracles and Jonah’s fish. This episode emphasizes the Catholic Church as the ark of eternal life, inviting seekers to embrace its saving role.
