Thank you. I would add, though, that for Hart, Christianity, of its nature, communicates itself in a primarily suasive mode, rather than a dialectical one. ... Christianity has no stake in the myth of disinterested rationality: the church has no arguments for its faith more convincing than the form of Christ; enjoined by Christ to preach the gospel, Christians must proclaim, exhort, bear witness, persuade -- before other forms of reason can be marshaled.Note that for Hart, these Christian arguments are themselves already forms of reason. And there are of course others -- the "drier" arts of logic, for example -- to be marshaled in their wake. So in this sense, the heart of Christianity can provide an extremely natural response to the post-modern condition -- a condition to which it arguably gave birth. The lesson here for perverts? Perverts in particular? Mmm, I don't know. Keep looking? |
