az- A Time for Everything -by Karl Knausgaard, trans James Anderson|Archipelago Books (November 1, 2009)

In reality, it was just a matter of time before the situation would become what it's turned into today, where everything connected with the holy is regarded as abstract, so that we literally do not see the materiality of what is holy; whereas everything that concerns physical nature is exclusively seen as concrete, and we lose sight of physical nature's immaterial aspects, too. (p346)

material / immaterial.
concrete / abstract. ~d n like usage of 'concrete' ~ too specifically connotes concrete. better? 'tangible'
physical / spiritual.
science / history (including revelation; all knowledge by authority).
nature / divinity.
matter / force.

my old argument: the divide is unreal. these are not even separate aspects.
defined in contrast to one another: the meaning is imaginary, it does not hold.
