Paradise has no History

       History does not exist in a paradisical world where time has no meaning. Without birth, death, and all the violence in-between, there is nothing to record for the bliss of every moment is continual, without disturbance. Life in paradise is peaceful, joyful, without need or desire.

A Theopoetic Contemplation on the Question: ...

Truth is the judgment of the cross on the world, in this world we crucify God daily to our systems as we face our struggle to survive in a hostile world. When truth is silenced, the voice of God is crucified.

A Prayer for the Ages of History

The Lord taught his disciples to pray with a model prayer. The prayer affirms the oneness of humanity under the love of God our Father. The prayer teaches us that God’s reality is apart from the daily experience of humanity.

In Scripture, it is not the language of law that communicates God, it is not the philosophers strenuous exercise in dialectics that communicates God - it is the prophets poetry, the wiseman’s story, the language of the song….

The Question

Perhaps, we should understand that at the root of humanity’s existence is our innate compatibility with the nature of God. Created in the image and likeness of God and bearing a moral conscience are innate aspects of being human that make us compatible with God’s nature.

Preserving Reality

Preserving Reality

Uncovering the injustices of the past is the most important aspect of historical research for it enables us to understand and correct the present. The calling of historians in its purity is to become beacons of justice and leaders of change. Historical knowledge of the violence, injustice, racism, and greed of the past disassembles false ideologies that govern the present. Historical truth is able to lift the cultural weight of lies from the shoulders of the population who live in a false reality. History’s witness to the failings and inhumane activity of power must preserve the voices of the powerless, the victims of history.
