The Time Has Come...to Talk of Many Things: Literature, History, Science, and Faith

The Time Has Come combines theology (our thinking and knowing about God), spirituality (our feelings and emotional connections to God), and religion (our actions and behaviors in response to God). In order to accomplish this, we need to talk about many things. What is the point of the stories of God in the world? What do history and human experience show us about God? What facts can science add to our understanding? How does faith bring all these things together in our everyday lives?Read slowly in little bits. You have permission and even encouragement to stop after every paragraph, or even every sentence, to write in the margins. Meditate, analyze, discuss, and as Jesus so often says, "Do not be afraid.""I, the fiery light of divine wisdom. I ignite the beauty of the plains, I sparkle the waters, I burn in the sun, and the moon, and the stars. The earth that sustains humanity must not be injured, it must not be destroyed." Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179)"Just because you cannot understand a thing, it does not cease to exist." Blaise Pascal (1623-1662)"What we see is not necessarily the whole truth any more than the tree we see above ground is the whole tree." John Fowles (1926-2005)
