| Of course we all know intellectually that humans are mortal, but that is a bit different than knowing existentially that we are mortal. I understand that the weakness-metaphor harbors for Caputo a theological event, an event in whose importance I am a true believer: that of the deconstruction of the divine omnipotence in favor--not of a no god, a dead god, but of a possibly better one--a more believable, more worthy, indeed more biblically and existentially resonant divinity. Consciously facing and existentially enduring this tension by clinging to the promise of corporeal restitution is the unique contribution of the healing ministry. |
