I’ve noticed a healthy amount of discussion on this forum about sola Scriptura, and now I’m interested to see how a discussion about soli Deo gloria goes.
Rather fitting that it should surface in a thread on original sin.
Which now leads me to reopen that remarkable chapter Enjoying God by Enjoying Creation:
“In fact, what if, in the spirit of Piper, I tried out my own AugustinianKuyperian gloss on the first question of the catechism? On that rendering, the answer to the question, “What is the chief end of man?” might be: “To glorify God by enjoying his creation forever.””
