trying to be vigilant
February 1, 2006
“Spirituality is always in danger of self-absorption, of becoming so intrigued with matters of soul that God is treated as a mere accessory to my experience. This requires vigilance. Spiritual Theology is, among other things, the exercise of this vigilance. Spiritual Theology is the discipline and art of training us into a full and mature participation in Jesus’ story while at the same time preventing us from taking over the story.”

I agree. I believe a theology of the cross is the core of spiritual theology, providing the security we long for without letting us indulge the sin of self-protection (Crabb).
