"At the general level we need a restoration of sight into God’s created symbols. We need to learn again how to look at trees, stars, shrubs, grass, snakes, birds, flowers, emeralds, clothing, and all else – look at them with Bible eyes, not with the eyes of Western rationalism.
When this has happened, Christians will once again take control of the arts and sciences, but not until then. General cultural renewal is impossible apart from recovering the symbolic worldview of the Bible.
Only then will we see renewal in the Church (the primary institution) and in society (secondarily). Judgment begins at the House of God. Restoration begins when men take His primary symbols seriously once again"
-- James B. Jordan, Through New Eyes, Ch3
(Leitharts, "A House for My Name" is the other one to get on the ancient symbolic/typological macro/microcosmic worldview lost in the West after muh enlightenment. Basically, the scholarly version of Jonathan Pageau's Symbolic World material - https://www.amazon.com/dp/1885767692/ )
