Prismatic Theology

Prismatic Theology is defined as the study of sacred text through the science of light, light energy, color and optics. Prismatic Theology begins with the understanding that light, color and image was the oldest and therefore primary form of spiritual communication between God and the human soul/spirit/mind/heart. From this viewpoint, it follows that the development of human languages, oral and written, became a secondary form of spiritual communication between God and the human soul/spirit/mind/heart during the unfolding of human history. Thus the prismatic theologian critically searches biblical text for evidence of the primary communication through light, color and image which may be entwined within or obscured by the secondary form of communication through written language. Genesis 1 provides ample evidence of the primary form of communication embedded within sacred text because the text itself follows the color order of the visible spectrum of light. Therefore Genesis 1, as recorded in the Hebrew Bible, forms the foundation for a prismatic study of Scripture.
