poetry and piety in theology
by samlcarr - 17/07/2006 - 11:17
That’s a challenging and great thought but harder to put into practice. The distancing is a result of trying to be rigorous, logical, rational etc. Should rigour be discarded? God is mysterious except for what He has revealed about Himself. His revelation is poetic, pious and mystical as well as historical but unless we are trying to be revelatory in our theology, will we be able to recapture the same?
Most of our theologians would have to quit trying to write or teach theology as there are very few of the calibre of say a C.S. Lewis amongst our theologians - combining a poetic ability with clarity of thought!
