An incredibly thought-provoking, engaging text that would lose you in seemingly unrelated imagery if you do not engage with it in a theological / philosophical dance. Although I am not a universalist, MacDonald’s theme of forsaking pride in order to truly live by dying will stay with me for a long time. Am I willing to accept the raven’s beck and call to truly think, feel, and live in a world that is not my own yet?
