Expanding on the work of theologians such as Barth and Rahner, who insisted that there was only one m...

It has purpose and value, and we can sometimes feel it and find in it resources of strength, hope, and inspiration. Thr...

The ultimate reality is cosmic mind, which generates the physical universe. Its goal is to liberate all beings from evil and suffering and to unite all beings to itself. God sets the goal, Jesus shows and attains the goal, and the Spirit guides the way to the goal. This is a spiritual path to God, to which the Bible testifies, fr...
