A common image of hell in the Bible is that of fire. Fire disintegrates. Even in this life we can see the kind of soul disintegration that self-centeredness creates. We know how selfishness and self-absorption leads to piercing bitterness, nauseating envy, paralyzing anxiety, paranoid thoughts, and the mental denials and distortions that accompany them. Now ask the question: ‘What if when we die we don't end, but spiritually our life extends on into eternity?’ Hell then, is the trajectory of a soul, living a self-absorbed, self-centered life, going on and on forever.
- Tim Keller

My spiritual mentor was fond of describing our world--and ourselves--as 'glorious ruins.' There is great wonder, deep truth, and breath taking beauty, but always in a broken setting of injustice, spin, and disappointment. Exploring what this means, and what a faithful spiritual pilgrimage looks like in this fallen world is what we are interested in here.
If you have similar yearnings and questions, we hope you'll find the material we post here stimulating for your own spiritual pilgrimage.
Denis (for Margie, too)
