"Eliminating Greek philosophy from Christian thought, therefore, would render the grammar of the creeds incomprehensible." Unfortunately it's just the opposite for me. The mystery and wonder of direct communion with the Father which Jesus experienced and shared with his people is enough for me. Without the elaborate cosmology that dueling 2nd and 3rd century theologians invented.
"...people will happily talk to you about the True, the Beautiful, and the Good. Plato's transcendentals are a great way to get people into a God-adjacent conversation..." Spoken as a true evangelist. Thank you
Wow, looking forward to this. Hart has been a huge influence on my reconstruction as well, as have you. Always have a dictionary handy when reading Hart:).
"Yes, and..." rather than an "Either/or" stance is generally a good sign.
