"The divine essence is beyond articulation; the words of Scripture point beyond themselves and reveal the absurdity of any fundamentalism. To insist on "literal truth" in theology is to make a fool of oneself, whether one articulates theism or atheism. In doing so we "know not what we do," because any articulation taken literally is at best a reduction of ultimate truth to what a finite intellect can grasp; it is an idol."
Fr David Starr
