Christianity is first & last Christ himself. Not, ultimately, a collection of doctrines & laws, dogmas & regulations, but a reality which is there, & which is present in our lives ever anew: Christ & his grace, the reality of God which, in Christ, becomes our own reality. –Rahner
Humanity, created by God in all its grandeur, is today facing a pivotal choice: either to construct a new Tower of Babel or to build the city in which God and humanity dwell together. In Jesus Christ, this humanity in its grandeur becomes the Way, the Truth and the Life, opening the path for each of us to grow toward fullness. #MagnificaHumanitas

Revelation is a Genesis 2 story in which the Father constructs a Bride for his Son. The opening line of Revelation is the first hint of a profound totus Christus theology with ramifications for soteriology and ecclesiology as well as Christology.

The city signifies the universal church as God’s kingdom, & the palaces within the city signify the local churches.
Eusebius
By city is understood the entire God-fearing commonwealth throughout the whole world, & by her palaces the churches in part and in place.

“Is this what we live for? …is this the only final beauty: the color of any skin in any light, and living, human eyes?”
@OnAncientPaths Thanks! I’d be reading just for stimulation and gems. I like her novel The Sea and always wanted to see what she says in her philosophical works
