Sometimes there just aren’t words adequate and we are left in awe of what is holy. I suspect the Holy Spirit set Bart straight about a few things when he arrived in heaven. Namely, that despite Bart’s theories the Holy Spirit still has a job of comforting, convicting, teaching, and guiding people and is continuing to do so.

One of the things that scripture reveals to us about God is that God has for centuries revealed himself through a variety of dreams, visions, and visits. I don’t see why that God should have recently stopped behaving like the God we know in scripture. Just some thoughts to consider.

Just discovered your blog via your guest post. Looking forward to exploring it further. Peace and blessings during Lent.

Terry, did you know Barth LOVED Anselm? Your comment sounds about right.

Also, I have thought of you since I started taking this Barth seminar. Profs here keep alluding to the fact that your Yale folk love their Karl Barth. Hope the new semester is treating you well!

Anselm makes the same move in the Monologion. I think he clarifies it a bit in de grammatica.

But then, as Augustine might say, “Lo, you were within me, but I outside, seeking there for you.”
