The World Is a Mirror

About this episode

The episode discusses how creation reflects the goodness of God through the lens of scripture and philosophical insights.

Scripture Philippians 4:8–9 (NIV) Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable — if anything is excellent or praiseworthy — think about such things. Refrain Creation mirrors the goodness of God. Quote St. Bonaventure, from The Soul's Journey into God "Let us place our first step in the ascent at the bottom,  presenting to ourselves the whole material world as a mirror, through which we may pass over to God, who is the Supreme Craftsman.  The Creator's supreme power, wisdom and benevolence shine forth through all created things."
