Stephenwolf re: Theology, Religious Studies, Philosophy, Mysticism, Theodicy... and Their Stories

50+. Thoughts, observations and insights with 4 decades with "religious studies", theology, philosophy, history...but intending less sub specie academiae, or sub specie scientiae, and rather sub specie aeternitatis. "Was du ererbt von deinen Vätern hast, erwirb es, um es zu besitzen", Goethe: Faust I, Nacht, Vers 682. [Photo from Mt. Scopus]

About Me

Stephenwolf at large: People read mostly to find or forget their lives, works, selves... I found much of myself and life reflected in Hesse's "Steppenwolf", hence the blogname. (If you have not read his work from 1927, you perhaps wont fully understand the "angle" of this blog either.)
