“‘When the relations between man and God is subjective, interior (as in Luther) or in timeless acts and logic (as in Calvin) man’s utter dependence upon God is not mediated through the concrete facts of historical life,’ writes Canon Demant. And when it is not so mediated, the relation with God becomes tenuous, amorphous, and unsupportable.” Nisbet, The Quest for Community (Wilmington, DE: ISI Books, 2010), 11.
