John Muir: Outside Reading

Muir believed that an immediate experience with nature was his means to salvation. “In Restoration theology, salvation is achieved when one bypasses those distorting effects of sin that are imparted by civilization to experience direct engagement with scripture and receive its benefits.” Though the Bible makes it clear in 2 Timothy 1:9 about the source of our salvation: “He has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time.” Muir’s perspective is still interesting to think about.
