Description
Summary:Gregory Baum as a theologian is like a landmark. A landmark refers to something conspicuous that rises above the horizon and identifies the terrain. A landmark has several functions. For those lost in a strange environment, an identifiable landmark will tell them where they are and reorient their way. For those at home in familiar surroundings, landmarks are often taken for granted, but in fact a confidence in our identity in space and time is largely defined by the stability of the landmarks that encircle us. A landmark is something we implicitly count on in the organization of our life.
