Really spinning lots this summer on the implications of the Resurrection! Specifically in the areas of engaging and motivation for ecology, cultural dialogue etc—how to bring usher in, quicken His Kingdom (the place where He is already King) into all areas of culture and life. When I was studying at L’abri in Switzerland, my big question was about how to treat our physical bodies and the earth. Specifically what was our motivation for tending or helping to complete or steward the earth, and why value our bodies, or the physical. NT Wright and Shaeffer both addressed this issue head on. In addition i was interested in why the arts matter on a basic human level. These areas are still my main interest! Soil, Sight and Skin, i called it back then. Our proper relation to the earth, the imagination and our own bodies. These still seem to me to be neglected areas of Jesus Lordship even among Christians, though much has changed since my days in the Alps! Many more are now actively engaged with Him in these three areas. For which I am so thankful. It’s no longer weird to speak of a Christ centered ecology, or a baptized imagination which is part of our sanctification process of being made whole or more fully new creations. Nor is it as odd to speak of the physical body as mattering in our spirituality—health etc. Even the late, Dallas Willard wrote great articles addressing the sanctification and resurrection of the physical body, and how to live accordingly. Im so happy our theology is catching up with God’s Heart more and more.
