Strictly speaking, everyone is at least a sleeping, distracted, or repressed mystic.
–Harvey D. Egan, on Rahner

[Kyle Barton @bartonkyle]

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

There is a noticeable apophatic current beneath the bold, sharply defined, Hokusai-like waves of Lee's theology.

The Father is the fountainhead,
The Son expression gives to Him;
The Spirit is His very flow,
As my reality within.

Thankful to God for the life and ministry of Watchman Nee who died for the faith today in 1972.

Looking forward to reading this

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

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.

RcV on Psa 48

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.

[Kyle Barton @bartonkyle]

Is murdoch’s metaphysics as a guide to morals worth reading?

[Kyle Barton @bartonkyle]

@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
