Jerome Miller’s Works on Belief and Identity

Excerpts from the Paper

A Commentary on Jerome Miller’s “The Way Of Suffering: A Reason of the Heart” and In the Throe of Wonder: Intimation of the Sacred in a Post-Modern World
Both writings of Jerome Miller, “The Way Of Suffering: A Reason of the Heart” and In the Throe of Wonder: Intimation of the Sacred in a Post-Modern World talk about getting out of nothingness and learning to believe in god. Wonderment and the sacred nature of life are things that people have to recognize in order to get to their spiritual goals. Jerome miller talks abut getting out of nothingness to believe in God by facing the fear of nothingness and letting one’s heart truly feel emotion.
Wonder and the throe of inquiry opens a person up to the sacred because these things give the world...

.....od, the creator of the world.
Dr. Miller has a lot to say in his works “The Way Of Suffering: A Reason of the Heart” and In the Throe of Wonder: Intimation of the Sacred in a Post-Modern World. Both texts explore the way to believing in God and reaching a higher point of seeing the world and ourselves. The heart is guarded by fear and the acceptability of not being emotional in our society. Miller rejects this, thinking that ultimate feeling gets a person much farther from everyday nothingness, and into realms that are far more sacred and wondrous.
