Hear the Music

How is our theology informing our philosophy? Or perhaps that is too abstract. To mimic our friend and mentor John Mark, What does Jesus have to do with Plato? I ask this question for the sake of integrity, because I used to have two blogs. One was "Christian" and "devotional." The second was "Platonic" and "musical." Both I believe had shadowy inklings, however right or wrong, of Truth Himself and His creation.

This seems to be the start of a "Christian Platonist" language. How much of a "Christian Platonist" language have you developed since participating in the Torrey Honors Institute and becoming a member at graduation? Who else is developing such a language?

If indeed the kosmos was made through and for Christ, with spiritual, intelligible, and sensible dimensions, it seems we must cultivate a language particular to our lives which has unity, just as Plato seems to communicate a unified and consistent kosmos through words in any particular dialogue.

We seem to be a rare breed.
