Theology

I love theology. I read textbooks on theology at night before I go to bed (yes, I'm a dork). But I read this quote on Alan Hirsch's blog and I think it is a fantastic reminder:

----
“Every concept formed by the intellect in an attempt to comprehend and circumscribe the divine nature can succeed only in fashioning an idol, not in making God known.” - Gregory of Nyssa, “Life of Moses” -

Our ideas about God are only meant to direct our attention toward God, who is always greater than our ideas.

Wow, now that is an awesome reminder!
