He taught us that all of theology, all of our conceptualizing and defining and explaining of the faith, is also an icon -- an icon made not with paint or even with words, but with <i>concepts</i>. Thus all of our definitions, fine distinctions, principles, and explanations are worth nothing in themselves (however true they may be). They are worth something only insofar as they fit together, like stones in a mosaic, to show us the image of our Lord Jesus Christ. (And you know what St Irenaeus said about those who pull the stones apart and put them together in the wrong way to form an entirely different image ...)Chris Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03220498656377282715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6546468339418636140.post-76151096573903888312011-01-26T21:56:10.770-05:002011-01-26T21:56:10.770-05:00I think it would be very interesting if you expand...I think it would be very interesting if you expanded on this some.
