That's exactly the kind of thing I was thinking, but the books (evangelists?) are on the Wheel, not on the World . . .
Maybe the World (with Christ enthroned?) is the fulfillment of the Gospels (just as the Gospels were the fulfillment of the law?).
Oh, wait, that will work if we say with Robert Place that the World dancer is the Anima Mundi, the Holy Spirit!
As the Age of the Father was superseded by the Age of the Son (the Gospels), the Age of the Son (Wheel with Gospels) is superseded by the Age of the Spirit (World with Living Creatures).
But I never related the Wheel to Christ/Savior/Son/Dying God themes before . . . Got to think about that some more. Dying and resurrecting = down and back up on the Wheel, maybe?
