Default Re: Spirituality or Knowledge

This choice is an artificial one and a reflection of old and unresolved arguments within an early medievel church. The two are not contradictory. Scriptural discoveries made only during the last century, The Nag Hammadi collection of Gnostic Gospels and the Dead Sea Scrolls suggest the potential of a search for knowledge [of God and true self] by an act of perfect faith. In fact a new interpretation of the Resurrection argues that this event is a metaphor for a direct intervention into the natural world by God in response to an act of faith. Knowledge and moral insight accessible by faith. Such a change in the historical 'faith' paradigm is the stuff revolution is made of?
