"The thing about vice is that it is what renders God coherent...It delivers up sorrow and temporary joy- but mostly sorrow, eventually. It delivers, too, a bit of grace."
This is exactly right. You know you have fallen when you hit the ground. I have worked with teenagers for the past 3.5 years and I have become increasingly aware that we do not have shared imaginaries, particularly in the way we understand God, the world, and ourselves.
Thanks for writing. Will definitely be thinking on this!

One of your best.
Very interesting. I wonder...who is researching and writing about the Christian imaginary - besides yourself?
this is my own take, though i've obviously been heavily influenced by my reading over the years. i can compile a reading list if you'd be interested.
I'm interested.
Thank you for this. It puts words to many of the concerns I have about people younger than me.
