“The assumption underlying evaluations of the world as worthless is that only what is permanent has value. Unless the ‘goods of this world’ can become reminders of eternity, temporary things, no matter how delightful, nourishing, and stimulating, have little or no value in relation to eternal things. ... We no longer live in such a world. And therefore the rhetoric of Christian tradition, its metaphors and images, must be examined and reevaluated in the light of the fragile and threatened world of twentieth-century experience.”
