3.0

To defend a view which seeks to do justice to both the constrained and the creative in our speaking about and apprehending of the world is, I believe, an imperative in a culture where one or the other seems in constant danger of being forgotten, in shapeless ideas of liberty and autonomy or in mechanical notions of what counts as "real' or 'hard" knowledge. And the job of theology is surely to join in the struggle against the dehumanizing prospects of both these distortions.

Incredibly dense. Didn’t get much of the finer theory, but useful prompts. See activity for notes
