dc.description.abstract |
The genre affiliation is a postmodern study: Virtual Reality (VR) becomes a comprehensive
concept, in the face of modernism's illusion, when rhetoric validates all discourses. All is VR.
The study is in three sections with an overall introduction and conclusion: the first section
introduces VR in its postmodern setting, the second section establishes the postmodern
timeless/spaceless paradigm of HyperReality in which all Hermeneutics are being done from,
the last section draws the paradigm into the Creatio Ex Nihilio discourse of the Scriptures.
The proposed theological model is an intratextual theological model, however when
YAHWEH precedes language then all discourses become intratextually part of the Biblical
discourse. Human creativity is a metaphorical journey; the Fall was the outset of two
languages, one in the presence of YAHWEH, while the other one void of this presence led to
a nihilistic abstract constellation. Sin in VR is the unbiblical appropriation of this constellation. |
