The Bible reveals God and is full of his presence in a special way, but when we die and hopefully go to heaven, we won't spend our time worshipping the New Testament. Heaven heaven doesn't need a Bible because heaven is where God is. In this episode we talk about an ancient form of contemplation called the four senses, which was both a way of reading the Bible and a way of thinking about the world in order to see God's heavenly presence in it.
