What is A Deo Lumen?
This site offers a theological grammar that re-centers Christianity on God’s holiness, seeking to see the faith as God and Scripture present it rather than as we often reduce it.
We must ask God “Who are you?” before asking, “What can you do for me?”
To know God’s love is not merely to receive it, but to be changed by it—to reflect it back to Him and to send it outward as invitation to others.
This, we believe, is the good news Jesus came to share.
The first article explores why beginning with God’s holiness changes everything that follows.
LUMEN proposes God is holy love in fullness, creation exists to participate in that love, and redemption restores and matures our capacity to reflect it. Everything else follows from that vision.
The aim is not novelty, but clarity. Not division, but healing. Not certainty that controls, but trust that frees.
The vision is of a Christianity more attractive, more positive, more vibrant, more faithful, more hopeful, more loving, more united, more biblical, more Christological--more luminous--than ever before.
It is an invitation into shared life with a God who gives Himself without reserve—and who calls His children to become, freely and joyfully, what they were always meant to be.
