Theology Is Best Pursued Outdoors

Scripture

Psalm 19:1 (NRSVUE)

The heavens are telling the glory of God;

and the firmament proclaims his handiwork.

Refrain

The world will never starve for want of wonders, but only for want of wonder.

Quote

Wendell Berry, from The Art of the Commonplace: The Agrarian Essays

"The Bible is best read and understood outdoors,

and the farther outdoors the better.

Passages that within walls seem improbable or incredible,

outdoors seem merely natural.

This is because outdoors we are confronted everywhere with wonders;

we see that the miraculous is not extraordinary

but the common mode of existence."
