In this episode, I dive into the spiritual and artistic journey of John Lennon, a figure who profoundly shaped the musical and cultural landscapes of the 20th century. I Iexamine how Lennon, known for his complex relationship with Christianity, knowingly or not, wove Eden-like imagery and themes into his work alongside Yoko Ono.
While famously rejecting traditional Christian doctrines, Lennon's life and art paradoxically echoed many of the faith's core ideas. I explore this dichotomy, delving into his past, album art, lyrics, and legacy.
Join me as I attempt to unravel the layers of Lennon's relationship with Christianity, from the Edenic symbolism in his album covers to the deeper spiritual undertones in his music.
