Sublime

Paul lives in the person of Jesus by giving himself over to the narrative arc of Jesus’s death and resurrection, allowing the Holy Spirit through faith to make Jesus’s story Paul’s own.

Augustine is our contemporary. He has directly and indirectly shaped the way we understand our pursuits, the call to authenticity.

To read Augustine in the twenty-first century is to gain a vantage point that makes all of our freedom look like addiction.

The object of faith for Paul is the living Christ, and the process of faith is the cross itself.
