Macquarrie

Well, I've been carrying on with the work. I've been reading a lot of John Macquarrie this week who was an early influence on my thinking (and the writer who first got me interested in Heidegger). It is good to read a mainstream philosopher of religion and systematic theologian denying that the statement "God exists" is strictly true. It's this line of argument, and Tillich's religious symbols, that I'll be writing about in Chapter 4; I hope, over Christmas.

I've reached the conclusion that there is some good stuff in theology but you have to be very careful. Or perhaps I'm just reading philosophers of religion who deceptively call themsleves, or were deceptively called by others, theologians.
