What I found so interesting about the readings, particularly the piece by Anselm was the explication of the 'why' of Christ. Why he had to be human. Why his sacrifice was sufficient. I am awed anew by the perfect completeness that God orchestrated in the way he sent his son. I had never really thought about the fact because Christ's life is worth infinitely more than all of the sin ever committed, therefore his sacrifice was able to cover every sin past, present, and future.
I was also grateful for an explanation as to why Satan and the other fallen angels could never be redeemed- because they were unprompted and untempted, and above human.
Overall, I was fascinated with the theology presented, and I thought it was beautifully written. I really liked this.
P.S. I commented on Abbey's
I agree that the explanations of theology were beautifully written and fascinating. I enjoyed how they are questions we still ponder over today.
