Featured Book. Lohfink argues that Enlightenment goes back far before the 1600's to Israel. He argues for a faith both rational and open to mystery, deepened by Jesus and the church. I've read 3 Lohfink books and deeply appreciate his thoughtful devotion. Glad to get this from @litpress.bsky.social
