Susanna Used Her Noggin, and So Should You

Yes, I actually posted at Out of the Ordinary today. 

In his book The Deep Things of God: How the Trinity Changes Everything, Fred Sanders gives a few glimpses into the personal devotional journal of Susanna Wesley (mother of John and Charles Wesley and seventeen more children, nine of whom died as infants) who, at the time she wrote the quote that follows, was “a full-time homeschooling mother.” In the journal entry the quote comes from, Susanna is engaging the thought of none other than the philosopher Aristotle, who taught that “the world eternally existed along with God.”

Read the rest.
