Images in Sacred Time
Update: 2025-12-19
Description
Using personal experience as a starting point, this article explores the process of faith deconstruction and reconstruction within the Christadelphian community. It examines how foundational beliefs about biblical inerrancy can become entangled with personal identity and the need for certainty, and what happens when those foundations no longer hold. Drawing on Heschel's philosophy of sacred time and Girard's mimetic theory, the article develops a mirror metaphor: we see distorted reflections of ourselves through culture and ego, but God's loving gaze reveals our true image. The result is a faith rebuilt on the teachings of Jesus rather than doctrines about scripture, emphasizing transformation over transaction.
