There are many mysteries of Christianity that, even 2,000 years later, are still to be revealed. There is tension in Christianity, as a religion of “the book” - that is, a religion that is based on a revelation from God Himself - it is focused so much on words, concepts, doctrines and dogmas. This is necessary, for, without these words and concepts to hold it together, it cannot create a community, a Church - a living entity that can process through time and history. However, it is a living tradition that also comes packaged with the experience of the saints - and some of these experiences are very strange indeed. There are mystical excursions, visions, the bodily manifestation of the wounds of Christ, bilocation, prophecy, healing and so on.
Thanks for such a beautiful article!
