Is "Christic" really a word? :) My wife likes to use the term "Beatlesque" sometimes, when describing a piece of music, because it reminds her of a Beatles song. Unfortunately, The Beatles have created music in nearly every genre imaginable - rock, heavy metal, classical, soul, R&B, ambient, experimental - there's very little that they haven't done. So "Beatlesque" doesn't really mean anything, if you think about it. What's "Beatlesque"? Everything, that's what. Likewise Christian/Trinity imagery and metaphor. The Bible has so many stories, lessons, admonitions, hints, rules, quotes and narrative situations that one could concievably apply a Christian interpretation to anything one cares to. Name a story - any story - and I'll detail the Christian metaphor within. (This tends to be where Theists and Atheists part ways, with Theists declaring that this means that everything is special, and Atheists saying that if everything is special, then nothing is special.) Christian imagery in "The Eyeflash Miracles"? Sure, I'll buy that.
