I'm interested in how chastity preserves the body of Christ, and is a deeply-woven virtue in Christian relationships...read Lauren Winner's book on chastity, Real Sex. I was highly sceptical but she won me over with her awesome, holy ideas.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18335900840550469234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6357491412347234783.post-77454677829378602262007-04-27T10:08:00.000-07:002007-04-27T10:08:00.000-07:00Wow, a course on Lewis with Peter Kreeft - that mu...Wow, a course on Lewis with Peter Kreeft - that must have been amazing. I really like Kreeft's stuff. <BR/><BR/>We have discussed the more Catholic approach to suffering you mentioned. It is one of the better approaches to the problem of evil in my opinion and it's generally how I tend to think about sufferings in my own life.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06529046356895711706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6357491412347234783.post-67631253900787678082007-04-27T09:08:00.000-07:002007-04-27T09:08:00.000-07:00Hey Matt,It prolly wont be something you would inc...Hey Matt,<BR/><BR/>It prolly wont be something you would include in your paper as it is a very Catholic approach, but you could do worse than this quote as an entry into the meaning of Christian suffering: <BR/><BR/>"I am now rejoicing in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am completing what is lacking in Christ's afflictions for the sake of his body that is the church" (1 Col 24)<BR/><BR/>Christian suffering is really quite different than suffering in general, I believe.<BR/><BR/>BTW, I took a a course in CS Lewis from Peter Kreeft as a philosophy undergrad at Boston College. Simply amazing.<BR/><BR/>Good luck with your exams.<BR/><BR/>ArthurFr. J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13574036634189124721noreply@blogger.com
