[Oe List ...] Ageless wisdom

[John C. Montgomery]

Not to drop too much metaphysics on us - but some might find Marjori Suchockki's book, The End of Evil helpful. For the most part the existentialist theology that was so central to our religious models and RS-`1 did not have the metaphysical context to affirm life continuing past death. This has been a significant debate among process thinkers - some like Schubert Ogden stand with Tillich suggesting that that there is no "subjective immortality," I am remembered - not simply by those who knew me, but who also can forget me, but by God who never forgets. John Cobb and Suchocki move beyond the "objective subjectivity" to an affirmtion of a continuing plane of existence. For them, and I might add for many Jewish thinkers, theodicy required space and time where evil is not simply justified, but transformed.

We went to the movie, Hereafter, to celebrate our 58th anniversary this afternoon. We highly recommend it...a way of looking at death that is neither secular, scientific or religious...

 A couple from my church recommended it to the congregation last Sunday. Now I want to see it! 
Thanks, Priscilla!
