Utterly - Inadequate Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

Utterly - Inadequate



Transcendence
 is a convenient term
to summarize these
ways in which
God is "above us."

Some ancient and
modern writers,
however, have taken
God's transcendence
to mean something else:
God is so far
above us,
so very different
from anything
on earth, that
we can say nothing,
positive, about him.

He transcends
our language,
so anything we say
about him is utterly
inadequate.
