"Jesus has no need of death but accomplishes God’s creative act upon the cross despite the death that we have brought upon our entire world."

Only the steady light of Christ fully exposes the extent and brutality of the suffering that we in this hurting cosmos so sadly consider to be natural.

In classical metaphysics, evil is often “identified” as a privation of goodness and being. It is, however, best understood as the gap that we create by something left undone, unfinished or unloved.

Andrew Kern writes about a romantic vision of education in "Unless the Lord Builds the House" @JesseHake discusses Kern's perspective on the inherent mystery of every created thing and the "shining forth" students and teachers may enjoy from studying.

@AmbroseAndreano Strategic phone camera work there! With just two videos, you managed to capture the fundamentals of it. Wild!

@ryanburrill72 @KrohnNotes @millinerd You’re confused. Bulgakov would help. The act of creation has no beginning or end and only shows up temporally as a creaturely response, and the fall is simply a contingent deviation away from creation by some creatures along their way to this self-creation.

“I equated the big bang with the beginning of everything but did not consider that it might instead be the manifestation of a primeval catastrophe.”

@KrohnNotes @millinerd All of fallen time holds together and is taken up and completed by us within the kingdom of God (which starts now within every moment of fallen time). Related, I think, to this:

@KrohnNotes @millinerd There is never a reason for brutal suffering (animal or human or otherwise) because evil is needless and irrational. However, to do the best that I can, all of fallen time is needed to include the fullness of life in the pleroma of unfallen time.

@OnAncientPaths Absolute best reason to do something like podcasting.

Btw, in my love for this book, I’m being a bit too dramatic here. Specialists are a great gift too.

Hart’s *All Things* pulverizes every university department boundary line. No one in any of their absurd little scholastic fox holes can have a clue what to do with it. It’s intentional academic harakiri by Hart, but this also makes it a real book.
