Quotes by Douglas A. Knight (?)

“The Bible refuses to provide a single view or center to its theology, despite the hope of biblical theologians and canonical critics that a center can be found. The biblical God is too mysterious, too magisterial, and too much interested in a relationship with humanity to be stuffed into a theological box.”
― Douglas A. Knight, The Meaning of the Bible: What the Jewish Scriptures and Christian Old Testament Can Teach Us
