Review # 1 was written on 2011-12-09 00:00:00 Timothy Wilkins Indeed, Jesus was born of viginal conception but never aan authentic coupled conceived baby. Hesus represents a transcendental imperviously humanity from incarnation of God's sidedness of humanity. he owns God's humanity and was an incarnation from God's will. His consciousness is of both godly and of humane. Both contextual humanity in his own bodily enity are to consummate up a holiness called Jesus. There was a good problem in the book about Jesus's born to be a child of non sexual conceived processing. So our limited knowledge is telling us it wasimpossible but impossible situation sometimes, will be a brand-new predicatment of getting new knowledge. To get new knowledge, one should have exprienced much doubious situation. Sometimes, impossibility can lead to a new predicament of new era in humane knowledge. So this involves our being conceived as a bodily entity to enter he world as humanity. Thus, humanity is consisted of both spiritual sidedness and bodily entity to consummate a complete humane existence to be thrown into the world and to be existed as an mundane, then. So one is considered as a miracle to be human because we were born of divine knowledge such as mysterious levals from the astral plane above. The astral planes above are not obvious infron of our sight but are existed inside our spirituality and bofily antities. So the flactuation is surging inside us all as revealled by our sightedness to be something we consider as phenomenon. Paradoxically, we don't know how we are living on what kind of astral realm. However, the astral realm we are living in is confining us all with a safe state but what confines what? Mirroring tells us that the realm acts on us and in reverse, we also play a role in changing the fate of the realm through process of changing the route of history. Only throug History we will be able to reveal our existence as humanity ever had a finitude on earth!

Review # 2 was written on 2017-04-17 00:00:00 Ilene Mcfarland Western culture is moving into a new as yet unnamed era. The term postmodern doesn't quite fit, but we are certainly long past the Aristotelian and Newtonian eras. In this book, Roger Haight explains the task of theology and outlines a method for doing it that takes into account the intellectual cultures that we live in---a world of pluralisms which calls into question every tradition and the notion of truth itself. He offers a bracing exposition of the concepts of faith, revelation, scripture, and symbol and convincingly shows the need in every age to reinterpret the ongoing experience of transcendence. His method of correlation goes beyond the historical form of religious symbol to its communicative point, to what is being revealed now. It pulls apparently disparate ideas that are not unfamiliar but which were not quite cogently connected into a unified picture. It is not an easy read, but very clearly written and absolutely worth the effort. I look forward to taking on his next book in which he applies the method to Jesus, the central Christian symbol.
