Balthasar on Theology and Truth

From Explorations in Theology Vol. 1: The Word Made Flesh Revealed truth, since it is both divine truth and the truth we live by, is so constituted that the amount of truth in theology (as it prepares the way to worship and a life of obedience) must be measured in terms of worship and practical obedience. For Christ is no theory, not even insofar as he is the truth (not the truth as human knowledge is true). The flame of worship and obedience must burn through the dispassionateness of speculation, as it always does through the entire Word of God..." (152-53).

Coming Next

It's been a few weeks since I've finished up my posts on 1 Corinthians. It was a very fruitful study for me. It's the longest book of the Bible that I have ever completed. I was originally planning to dive right into 2 Corinthians, but I've decided to take a detour and tackle Ecclesiastes next. I don't know what my pace will be as I'm also going to be studying it with my wife, which I'm really looking forward to! For commentaries I will be using Fox and Enns . Probably no big surprise.
