Theology

“James Champion invites us to find rest, freedom, and wisdom in doing theology humbly. We cannot comprehend God with finite minds and words, much less pick God’s brain. Our truest communication with the divine begins in silence. In the experience of God’s absence, including our suffering and our dying, we begin to know God’s presence. Apart from formulas, icons, and idols, we listen in silence—and find reason to dance, kneel, love, and be loved.”
