‘When we experience ordinary things as God’s gifts and when we rejoice in experiencing them as such, the world, in a sense, reaches its completion, for the duration of the experience at least. The world then becomes to us what God created it to be.’
‘I have offered no argument that these convictions are true… My goal here was both more modest and more foundational… It was to show that the Christian faith, if true, makes possible a unity of meaning and ordinary pleasures’, that is: joy.
‘The idea can be expressed simply: the right kind of love for the right kind of God bathes our world in the light of transcendent glory and turns it into a theater of joy.’
