"What good does it do to speak learnedly about the Trinity if lacking humility you displease the Trinity? Indeed it is not learning that makes man holy and just, but a virtuous life makes him pleasing to God. I would rather feel contrition than know how to define it. What would it profit us to know the whole Bible by heart and principles of all the philosophers if we live without grace and the love of God? Vanity of vanities, all is vanity except to have God and serve him alone." ~Thomas a Kempis
I prefer to value both the intellect and a life marked by true spirituality. I believe both to be the goal of theology. However I do want this journey to be for me more about my spiritual transformation as seen in my living and perhaps less in my learning.
