Thanks. Powerful. I had to look up Deus absconditus – 'Truly, you are a God who hidest thyself. ' In commenting on Isaiah 45:15 in his exegesis of the book Luther drew a parallel between the prophet's time and his own.
Hey Michael, how you doing? Thanks for this. Yeah, old Luther wrote a hymn with the title "God is Dead," at least as Hegel quotes him on it (Friedrich Schlegel is the source of that stuff about the kingdom of God on earth), but the resurrection was never far off in his mind.
Yes, young Luther went deep. I looked up the Schlegel quote too. The ethical implications of the resurrection. Wow!
As for me, I’m trying to let go of cherished illusions about self and control over life. My greatest anguish is for loved ones. And yet grace keeps breaking in. Trying to live the serenity prayer, one day at a time. That’s all we can do.
Good one, James. Irony or not, saw a bumper sticker today: Eve was framed.
Hey Tony, how's the north country? Hope all is well.
