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.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Dale Launderville</note> <subject> <topic>Theology</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Bible -- Commentaries -- Ezekiel</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Faith and reason</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">224.4064</classification> <classification authority="ddc">D139-L38</classification> <identifier type="isbn">9781602580053</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/13124/rea.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/13124/rea.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2024-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119071221.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
