I’ve been dipping in and out of this book, The God Who May Be. It’s a good book, though perhaps over-steeped in deconstruction for my personal tastes. Still, I won’t be too critical of a book that tries to conceive of how religions can develop a sense of the future that is full of possibility rather than apocalypse.
Still, this post isn’t about that book, but reading it triggered that part of my mind where all my Biblical images live. When another issue came up, I found myself thinking through it by way of the Burning Bush image.
Like much imagistic thinking, it has its limits and I probably go a little too far in pursuing it. But it’s meaningful still in its excess.
