The Spirit is the reality that connects humans with the cosmic order and enables the workings of the human heart - the place within which reason functions, according to ancient Israelite anthropology. Ezekiel's symbolic thinking is an integrative rationality in which the reason is regarded as operating within the heart through the empowerment and guidance of the Spirit.  aTheology  aBible -- Commentaries -- Ezekiel  aFaith and reason4 uhttps://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/13124/rea.jpgyCover Image
