Arron, I’m glad and impressed that you've read this. I never would have! Maybe you should open a Chat on reading with the four senses of Scripture, reading the stuff people know outside of Scripture.
For a starter, here's a biological literal/historical example:
After being warned that he should read it but not believe it, Darwin was captivated by Lyell's hot off the press "Principles of Geology" . It went with him on the Beagle, and more than illuminated what he then discerned in South American geology, so he believed it and in Lyell. Years later when Lyell read Darwin’s paper on the formation of coral reefs, he got up from his desk and danced a jig.
What moral/tropological analyses could be drawn from this literal/historical story?
