Theology in the Culture of Life

Creation

God is our Father and Creator,

So our minds, in his image,

can know his works, which are orderly.

Incarnation

He came: and our lives, now,

in the material world, are open to holiness.

Cross

Not even sin can separate us

from the love of God.

Gnosticism is the "anti- theology" of the anti-culture

Cyclic cosmos —

accidental, indifferent,

impersonal god;

knowledge is hidden;

depends on belief without information

Theology is rightly called the Queen of the Sciences, since it is the center of both the value of the person and the hope of philosophic certainty. From the Catholic theological perspective there flows a distinctive approach to all other intellectual disciplines as sources of real, if limited, knowledge. The queen is not so by arbitrary authority but by imprinting a specific and life-giving character on all the activities within the kingdom. Incarnational theology is the intellectual outworking of our acceptance of the revelation of God’s presence among us: the quiet omnipresence of our Father and Creator, the specific historical and sacramental presence of Jesus, our Incarnate Redeemer, and the gentle interior presence of the Holy Spirit, the Sanctifier. This theology affirms and supports human life in the natural world of its making; it is opposed in the anti-culture by various forms of Gnosticism which reject the entire landscape of Christian revelation.
