The Necessity Of Reflection In Community


Reflection in community can improve perception and conception of reality.

For Nietzsche, worldviews are "reified cultural constructs and idiosyncratic perspectives in life" (loc. 1471). An application Nietzschian reification has the capacity to make needed corrections in the beliefs and behavior of Christians. Basically, Nietzsche sees that all humans view reality through a perspective that has been made more concrete than is warranted, for perspective is heavily filtered reality. Faithfulness to the Bible (truth from God's perspective) results in a willingness to reassess our beliefs so they may be ever more aligned with scripture.

Scripture is truth. Reality is truth. Our perceptions and conceptions may or may not be truth, so reflection in the context of the community of truth is required.
