Über diesen Titel
Self-knowledge can either drive a person inward toward pride or outward toward God, and today’s readings press that tension to its breaking point. Calvin insists that the deepest knowledge of self comes not from measuring what remains after the Fall, but from being stripped bare until nothing is left but dependence on grace, exposing how even our best instincts toward truth falter into vanity without God. Augustine echoes this inward collapse by showing how grief and friendship can temporarily mend the soul while still leaving it displaced, stitched together by loves that cannot finally heal. Together, these readings refuse every illusion of moral or intellectual self-sufficiency and force the reader to face a hard truth: only when pride is burned away does humility become not weakness, but the only place where mercy can meet us.
Readings:
John Calvin, Institutes of the Christian Religion Book 2, Chapter 2 (Sections 9–12)
