| Notes: | In book 13 of the Confessions, the heavens are stretched out like a skin, which is also parchment, a text of Scripture; the bitter sea-water, gathered into a skin bag which holds the water, is an image of humanity; the human body can be interpreted as a text, and the right exegesis of the text of Genesis explains what is to be a human being in relation to God. (AnPh 1996, 736). |
