Contexts with "philistine"

In his “Conversations with the Devil,” he created an amusing world parallel to traditional Christian “morality tales,” and deployed his sense of humor to question the hackneyed verities of religion and its opponents, strip them of their philistine shells, yet defend the true moral meaning underlying the old beliefs. В его “Беседах с Дьяволом» он провёл удивительные параллели с традиционными христианскими притчами, а его чувство юмора разрушило филистерскую броню банальных истин как религии, так и её оппонентов, встав на защиту истинных моральных ценностей, лежащих в основе старых верований.
