Noise, and the music that is organized noise, is political, always linked to the exercise of power. We witness this fact most obviously in surveillance states that monitor and control of sounds and voices; eavesdropping, recording, censoring. Totalitarian regimes all “ban

Robert Jenson on the point of Trinitarian theology: "it is the very function of trinitarian propositions to say that the relations that appear in the biblical narrative between Father, Son, and Spirit are the truth about God himself." And, in a Chestertonian vein: The Trinity

Proposal for pneumatological exploration: Examine biblical claims about the activity of the Spirit, and, where possible, add "and also for God." *Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. Spirit as Liberty of God. *The Spirit fills with wisdom, knowledge, skill.
