The true theology of "the children of men" is participation in the delighted loveplay of the divine Wisdom, which interpenetrates everything created. It is what Vladimir Solovyev called sophiology. The word "play" does not mean something superficial or casual. It is the profound, unreasoning pleasure in God's presence, which goes far beyond all the purpose-and-profit rationality of instrumentalized human reason. In the profit rationality of instrumentalized human reason. In the image of play, we express the truth that the creation of the world is in itself meaningful but by no means necessary.
