Man and Sin by Piet Schoonenberg (1964) 1.7CE

[The object of a suprasovereign religion is, technically, “the object that brings all into relation”.

This object puts the sovereign into context.

This object interpellates all individuals (ultimately, as a universal interpellation).

This object calls individuals to adopt particular ideas, attitudes and frames of mind (beliefs and habits) that build character.

Religionsuprasovs build individual character.

“Character” is “the capacity to exercise both responsibilities and freedoms”.

Here, “freedom” represents “an openness to create and maintain responsibilities”, rather than the misleading “avoidance of obligations”.]
