Lost in translation, but found nevertheless. So many paths but only one destination. The academic is a terrifying being: men of books to whom Reason is the triumph of man - only to discover that man is the triumph of God. He seems caught in the moment he realises this: "My life is now an open book," he says. I believe him. Those who say that the Bible is a closed document must cringe at such a thought: "What? give the Holy Spirit free rein? Heresy!" Those who believe that their thoughts are harmless because they are private, must think again.
