The
sailing of the ark < 21

Who
sanctions this search
for a systematic theology? Christ,
who
talked in parables? Only God
could reconcile the strains of these
scholastic
gymnastics, and knowing faith to be
more powerful than certainty
he
chooses to do something else instead. Just as
his image persists within our sinfulness
so
truth
inhabits our ambiguous language,
truth that is not the whole truth,
and
rarely nothing but the truth,
that in a fallen world can only be displayed
in
an
imperfect medium, and in its revelation
puts dogma on the rack, where it belongs.
