  10. Yeah, this tracks. Kinda disappointed I got "0" on Lewis -- I think there were several times my second option would have boosted the #CSLewis-quotient (or #Aquinas for that matter), but I'll take #Luther and #Calvin on top. What's your result? whichtheologianareyou.netlify.

  15. #Aquinas: "We are united to God as to One Unknown." God is not "out there," far away or up in the sky. "God is closer to us than we are to ourselves" & "in all things in the most intimate way." God is transcendent: "far beyond anything we think" - so profound that we cannot go there. bit.ly/4qqZFGo

  19. #Aquinas: "We ought to cherish the body [&]celebrate the 'wonderful communion' of #body+soul." Dualism of soul/mind over body w/ dualism of male over female results in "fearful view of sex & fanatical misogyny tw. women" ~R. Ruether. I.e., Aquinas took on entire patristic institution! bit.ly/4qqZFGo

  27. #Aquinas: "There is a double #Resurrection." The first is #wakingup in this lifetime.

  39. #Aquinas: "Sins of the flesh take you toward God; sins of the spirit take you away from God." He stands of the side of #justice-seeking & #pleasure, teaching that the practice of #virtue increases happiness & pleasure. Justice & love go together, not necessarily justice and celibacy.
