- W4205895021 abstract "‘Consider the lilies how they grow.’ For the Rev. Hugh Macmillan the intention of Jesus’s command was quite clear and specific — to study a single plant and ‘try and find out what God meant it to say to us’ Nature was a medium for God’s message. It was alive with meaning. It lay as an open book waiting to be read, which, together with the Bible (the book of revelation), would make plain not only God’s creation but also His will and purpose. Nineteenth-century religious rhetoric was explicit in its use of such textual metaphors. We, with our semiotic susceptibilities, can be a little more sceptical. Furnished with the latest tools of linguistic analysis, we can claim that the world (and ‘nature’ in particular) does not have any inherent meaning, but has to be ‘made to mean’. Any ‘text’ is open to multi-various readings. Any ‘sign’ can explode into a polysemic kaleidoscope. Any ‘meaning’ jostles with others for ascendancy and acceptance. The Book of Nature was no different, its meaning no more transparent than the work of any earthly author." @default.
