Question

The contemporary world is imagined as a beggar silently asking for this virtue in a book about this virtue “when God turns his back and is silent” by a French Reformed universalist. Being given a Bible in a prisoner-of-war camp inspired a book about this virtue which is succeeded by The Crucified God in its author’s “original trilogy.” (-5[1])Jacques Ellul wrote a book titled for [this virtue] in a Time of Abandonment, while Marxist philosophy influenced (*) Jürgen Moltmann’s eschatologically-oriented Theology of [this virtue]. (10[1])Three lines beginning “through me the way” open a nonet whose last line refers to this virtue. This virtue is the second of the three theological virtues, since Paul lists it second in 1 Corinthians 13:13 (10[1])after pistis and before agape. (10[1])For 10 points, Paul grouped faith and love with what virtue, which Dante’s Gate of Hell commands (10[1])the damned to “abandon”? ■END■
