Thanks, Terryl, for making clear the radical risk of sadness at the heart of a regime that prioritizes the joy of interpersonal love. Love is valuable because it is elective not necessary for Gods that are radically free. I think you would not mind if I edited your word choice in the last sentence: replace irresistible to resistible. Onward to Zion, Randy
Just not with the confidence of Augustine, then? Fiona is a hard universalist. I am a hopeful. The question of resistibility has to always be open in my book.... Always delightful to get your reactions.
Wonderful article Terryl! I loved it al, but I especially appreciated your analysis of the healing of the blind man in John 9. I was moved by the idea that Jesus sought out the man after learning of the negative impact of the miracle. And that Jesus offered what he could to bolster the man: his love and a personal relationship. Just beautiful.
