“Which brings me back to Christ. If the creator of the universe saw fit to reveal Himself in the most concrete of ways – as a person, in history, with a body – wouldn’t that be enough? That is, wouldn’t that concrete revelation be enough for us to chew on for the rest of our lives?” Yes! You are so spot on Andrew. Definitely enough there to meditate on for life! Have you ever read or studied St. John Paul II’s Theology of the Body? One of its fundamental ideas is that the body (the concrete) is intended by God to be how our spirit (the mystery/the person) communicates love. Such good stuff. Christopher West is an author who brings St. John Paul’s work to a larger audience across denominations. Anyway, I think you’d love it!
