Can noticing the divine in everyday life transform reality?
This journey enriches the understanding of the divine in everyday life. Dr. Abigail L. Rosenthal, author of the upcoming book "Confessions of a Young Philosopher," returns to discuss the philosophical and theological implications and polytheism with Jerry from "God: An Autobiography, As Told To A Philosopher."
The coexistence of monotheism and polytheism today, the divine in Andrew Wyeth's art, and the metaphor of fire embodying both creation and destruction are explored. Through nature, art, or music, these experiences resonate deeply, enriching daily lives outside rigid theological structures.
Abigail and Jerry discuss the God of Israel and how God accepts all flaws, just as biblical figures like David were flawed yet significant. The human condition, marked by imperfections, makes life's journey meaningful and challenging.
Embrace contradictions, live in concert with God, and attend to life's rhythms and the spirit within with honesty and sincerity.
Dr. Abigail L. Rosenthal is the author of A Good Look at Evil, and Dear Abbie: The Non-Advice Column.
