Timmie and Dawn, two of my students in Philosophy of Religion at Ateneo de Manila University, have just submitted their final contribution to the seminar. They are introducing us here to the ancient Greek, Xenophanes, and his thinking on the relationship between what we know and divine revelation. If theology captures for us an ideal and an impetus for our thinking, Xenophanes insists on grounding our speculation in the world as we experience it.

As expected, I have learned more than I thought I could possibly learn in a semester. And my students have been delightful. Thank you guys.
