The leader in a small spiritual development group with which I study, we're still reading from Dallas Willard's book, The Great Omission - Ch 15 - Jesus the Logician,
gave this assignment yesterday - in what ways do we intellectually downsize Jesus in our every day lives - or do we?
Mr. Willard continues to hold our interest after months of digesting just 15 chapters with quotes such as these below.....
"There is in our culture an uneasy relation between Jesus and intelligence...today we automatically position Him away from (or even in opposition to) the intellect and intellectual life."
"To have understanding of developed logical theory surely could help one to think logically, but it is not sufficient to guarantee logical thinking."
"Logical insight rarely depends upon logical theory, though it does depend upon logical relations."
"In fact, the very idea of hypocrisy implies logical inconsistency." Good night Mr. Willard, wherever you are:)
"To have understanding of developed logical theory surely could help one to think logically, but it is not sufficient to guarantee logical thinking."
