"When a lark wants to pass gas like an elephant, it has to blow up. In the same way, all scholarly theology must blow up, because it has wanted to be the supreme wisdom instead of remaining what it is, an unassuming triviality."~Søren Kierkegaard

It’s worth pointing out that the first sentence is S.K. quoting Hans Christian Ørsted.
ReplyDeleteworth pointing out, indeed!
