Item 135

Penciled class notes on notepad paper by Heath when attending classes in advanced theology at the University of the South, Sewanee, Tennessee. Some 14 pages of additional pencil notes not transcribed here because of no particular relation to Heath’s ideas.

Summer 1954

     Is there any absolute morality? Promoting Life, Life is itself an Absolute Unity.

     Aren’t we incarnated too? (Divine spirit breathed into the flesh) Nature (and we) is God’s manifestation of Himself. He cannot be contrary to Himself.

     Natural man not destroyed when redeemed and born again. Creature into Creator. From subjection to creation, servant to son-ship. Conversion an act of nature.

And so I reckon we are here

   And that’s our business, John,

To work and git ourselves in gear

   To HELP the thing go on.

 

And I’ve an I’dee, maybe wrong,

   That that ain’t all of it.
