Description: hands-on theology
(Isaiah 6:1-8; Luke 5:1-11; 1 Corinthians 15:3-10)
When I was a teenager, a dear friend gave me a copy of The Once and Future King , by TH White. The book is an imaginative and introspective re-telling of the story of King Arthur and his knights. I had never read anything quite like it before, and it became an important book to me.
I remember one tale that made a particularly lasting impression on me. A man comes to Arthur’s court because he is suffering from a terrible wound, that will not heal – the result of a curse. He has been told that only the greatest knight in the world can heal his wound; so he has come to Camelot.
