Tara, I so appreciate your thoughtfulness. I like the way you pull in literature to illustrate your point. These three elements are an interesting idea to consider, particularly in light of current trends I see in Christian conversations to focus particularly on embodiment and what we experience in our bodies. *Makes a note to check my bookshelf for the Abolition of Man.* Several years ago, the Bible Project came out with a word study series on the Shema, highlighting what each word - heart, soul, and strength meant in its ancient Hebrew context. It has deepened my understanding and appreciation of these words. Also, my 10-year-old is currently reading, “Perelandra” so I’m sure, “That Hideous Strength” is in our future. Keep bringing the beautiful conversations, my friend.

I love this conversation. If my dad and I read Fahrenheit together right now, we'd come back with polar opposite conclusions of what it might be speaking to our world today, but I do always try to remind myself that he cares deeply too. We just have different viewpoints and different ideas of how that care should be manifested.
