As we discuss God and what He has revealed about Himself in the conversations of this blog, it is a great reminder that He is “other.” His essence is so glorious that, though He draws near, we will never capture a picture of Him fully.
In the words of Abraham Heschel, from his book God in Search of Man: A Philosophy of Judaism:
“However subtle and noble our concepts may be, as soon as they become descriptive, namely, definite, they confine Him and force Him into the triteness of our minds.”
This author packs so much in every sentence that it forces me to slowly digest his books barely a page at a sitting. His great reverence for scripture and God flow through the pages and challenge the mind as well as the soul.
