Forging Ploughshares Paul Axton

He describes the dishonesty in supposed neutrality toward religion, and the difference with European religious tolerance.

Acknowledgement of God and access to wisdom, reason, and understanding of the self and the world are synonymous. Where Kant and the modern age deny access to God as foundation to reason, and attempt to establish foundations within reason, the Bible and Hegel point to God as the possibility giving rise to reason.

The Prologue of John depicts the point of creation as incarnation and this is fulfilled through the Spirit. God would be known throughout creation as Christ knows him and makes him known, and this is the point of history and the work of the Spirit as depicted in John, developed by Origen and Maximus, and built upon by G.W.F. Hegel.
