Aporiae

This little book is an exercise in theological imagination - a theologumenon. It is a modest attempt, in an intentionally untoward way, to re-acquaint us with a patristic vision of the universally salvific love of God that reconciles and divinizes all things in Christ that he may be 'all in all' (1 Cor. 15:28). Aporiae approaches the most controversial issues in theology - universal salvation, freedom, evil, etc. - using an entirely interrogative form. I m not trying to get anyone to believe anything. I m pointing towards a Horizon and a Mystery of divine goodness and love that infinitely exceeds anything of which the human mind and heart can conceive (cf. 1 Cor 2:9). I pray the questions I raise in this little book will affect the reader as I intend - as sincere inquiries from the eschaton . They are inspired, I believe, by an intuitive apprehension of the universally redemptive Mystery of trinitarian Love, and filled with the hope does not disappoint, because God s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit (cf. Rom 5:5), convincing us that just as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive (1 Cor. 15:22).
