Vocabulary Lesson

Today has been dedicated to a final paper for a course I'm taking.  It's due on Monday, and I'm a bit embarrassed to say I've been procrastinating.  I've really enjoyed the course, but writing the paper has not been an inspiring task for some reason.  (Normally I do really enjoy writing, even if it is a formal assignment.)  However, in my reading, I came across a most impressive sentence regarding the identity of the woman mentioned in Revelation 12.

"In any case, it seems obvious that the vision intends a multivalent mythological symbolization of transpersonal divine realities." (Elisabeth Fiorenza. Revelation: Vision of a Just World (Proclamation Commentaries) (Kindle Location 1262). Kindle Edition.)

I'm such a nerd.  I love sentences like that.
