The modern (over-)obsession with right opinion is a telling symptom of our spiritual malady. A mixture of right theology and right worship produces right opinion, and still to an imperfect degree. The formation of the spiritual senses alters perception, and therefrom opinion.

The sophistication of an argument should never be a measure of its veracity, perhaps only of the interlocutor’s faculties. Veracity rests primarily on an argument’s ability to transform those who embody it.

The true lover of wisdom is able to reach far, and often disparate, ends of human knowledge, suspending them in tension and discerning when and where to leave ends loose or to tie them decisively. . . #philosophy #knowledge #truth #Christianity

Scripture can't be reduced to isolated themes, even those as comprehensive as love or care for the oppressed. Scripture isn't one theme;it's a divine corpus. Reductionism has led to so many contemporary ideologies contrary to Christianity but under its guise. #Bible #Christianity

There is no greater proof of God than this: I'm home alone with the kids, and they're both napping peacefully. #Apologetics
A pervading struggle of Christian life is making sure our ‘good’ opinions are not ahead of our transformed selves. When the latter trails behind, we risk even the goodness already realized.

Thanks @atpapanik. A great, and by now very successful, initiative at the Orthodox Christian Studies Center at Fordham University.
