Man and Sin by Piet Schoonenberg (1964) 2.2 BG

[Is this a pattern?

We (humans) turn away from God’s love.

Then, we turn toward God’s love.

Our symbolic orders part ways with God’s Self-Revealing and then return, over and over again, as the civilizational situation deteriorates.

This is precisely what we would expect if our symbolic orders are not anchored in referentiality.]
