interview in brief



Host Ken Myers visits the garden of Vigen Guroian, author of Inheriting Paradise: Meditations on Gardening and professor of theology. The interview consists of a walk-through of Guroian's herb garden while Gurioan reflects about writing a book. The book, he says, was "an incredible joy to write; I've never written anything that has given me such pleasure." In the book Guroian reflects about the metaphor that gardening is for the life of grace. He also reflects upon liturgical texts and hymnody related to gardens. For him one of gardening's chief sacramental lessons is the reality of our bodies and the hope of the resurrection.
