These thoughts of yours are helpful in the formative process of working through thoughts about "Mystery". A book I have been reading lately which has proved substantially easier to swallow than the two previous of Spong's is Doubts and Loves: What is Left of Christianity by Richard Holloway. He actually quotes Kuhn on paradigm shifts much like you did here, expanding on it the idea of our current position as being our myth or narrative, much as the accounts of creation and fall are ancient narratives or myths. Having read through most of Spong's autobiography Here I Stand, I find a man who appears to be filled with significant pride for his achievements and strongly convinced by his theology. That fills his other works with a sense of superiority as reactionary to fundamentalism. Yet I do agree that his chapter on exile was an excellent metaphorical description of the status of religion past and present.Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13969962596576784552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29128991.post-1158618460570194852006-09-18T15:27:00.000-07:002006-09-18T15:27:00.000-07:00Steve, thank you for that clarification of Tillich...Steve, thank you for that clarification of Tillich's theology.Mystical Seekerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10828225180668865911noreply@blogger.com
