“The title we announced for this talk is “How Complicated a God Do You Want?” The answer I have tried to suggest here is: a God no less complicated than the whole of reality, surely much more complicated than the God that the biblical writers succeeded in committing to the page, or, if somehow simple, simple in a way that can account for all this complexity, including everything that limits and constricts my own attempt to raise the question or to cry out, as somehow, in the spirit, I still do: Holy, Holy, Holy.
