BoBo and TuTu

BoBo: What is he doing?

TuTu: He seems to be trying to sketch the character of God, the God depicted in the Christian Bible.

BoBo: What on earth for?

TuTu: He believes the teachings of his childhood about God, Jesus, Salvation, and Sin were wrong or incomplete.

BoBo: So he is looking to correct the error.

TuTu: Yes.

BoBo: What is his premise?

TuTu: Well, he has a few. One is that God is and has been evolving, is in transition. He hopes to show that through the stories about God in the Bible.

BoBo: So that's why he has a Story Teller character.

TuTu: Yes. He is also operating off the premise that everything is story.

Bobo: Everything? How is he going to pull that off?

TuTu: We will see. His second premise is that not just humans have sinned (gone off the mark) but also God who became in need of salvation.  And forgiveness.

BoBo: That won't make him very popular with the orthodox. What else does he have going on in this "Story of God" he is writing?

TuTu: He points out that the subject - object world that most humans live in is outmoded, that it is a relational world, an interflow. Thus, we and God are an interflow, that we are continuously birthing each other.

BoBo: Hmmm… That we do not live in a hierarchy, but as a living, breathing holoarchy.

TuTu: You got it.

BoBo: He is going to put all this into one book?

TuTu: That is what is emerging. He has the vision. Now he has to put it into English. But he is used to that. He has written books of similar controversial nature before, you know.

BoBo: But none like this.

TuTu: No. None like this.

TuTu: Wait! Before you go, he also wishes to focus on how we as a planetary civilization have moved from the postmodern to the cosmodern.

BoBo: (Sighs) This is going to be one hell of a book.

TuTu: It encompasses and goes beyond both heaven and hell.
