Book cover for Human Significance in Theology and the Natural Sciences: An Ecumenical Perspective with Reference to Pannenberg, Rahner, and Zizioulas (Princeton Theological Monograph Series Book 128)
This project proposes, however, that this “Copernican” stereotype is problematic; that in fact humans are cosmically significant in some clear and precise ways that are visible to both theology and the natural sciences. While the former ...more

“So in a limited sense, the conversation partners were able to say that we are all worshiping the same God, but in terms of a general consensus that was as far as it could go, because “the image of God is too closely linked with the identity of each of the religions.” 167 Nevertheless, common ground was found along the way. Thus, after “a number of dialogues, John B. Taylor summed up the common features: common creatureliness before God, common responsibility before God’s judgment, the human being as God’s representative and servant, [and] the struggle for a more just, better world.” 168 To these could be added the mutual affirmation of humanity’s need for divine revelatory guidance as well as a belief in our God-given dignity and inherently moral nature. And both see Jesus as a holy man and prophet.”

Juan de la Cruz
“God is more pleased by one work, however small, done secretly, without desire that it be known, than a thousand done with the desire that people know of them. Those who work for God with purest love not only care nothing about whether others see their works, but do not even seek that God himself know of them. Such persons would not cease to render God the same services, with the same joy and purity of love, even if God were never to know of these.”
John of the Cross, The Collected Works of St. John of the Cross (includes The Ascent of Mount Carmel, The Dark Night, The Spiritual Canticle, The Living Flame of Love, Letters, and The Minor Works) [Revised Edition]

“I am joining in the process of purging layers of dross from modern Western rationality, a process that in elite philosophical circles has led to the “theological turn.” I argue that this process is giving birth to a restored, spiritually attuned rationality, an awakened rationality that facilitates the unfolding of a philosophical spirituality.”
William Greenway, A Reasonable Belief: Why God and Faith Make Sense

David Bentley Hart
“All reasoning presumes premises or intuitions or ultimate convictions that cannot be proved by any foundations or facts more basic than themselves, and hence there are irreducible convictions present wherever one attempts to apply logic to experience. One always operates within boundaries established by one’s first principles, and asks only the questions that those principles permit.”
David Bentley Hart, Atheist Delusions: The Christian Revolution and Its Fashionable Enemies

“A simple church is a congregation designed around a straightforward and strategic process that moves people through the stages of spiritual growth.”
