We discovered in the last chapter that we can know God truly even if not comprehensively. It may be impossible to comprehend God in his essence, in all his glory and radiance, but that does not preclude us from knowing God as he has made himself known to us. God “cannot be comprehended,” but he “can be apprehended.”5 We may not have “absolute knowledge” of God, which no finite creature could possibly have of an infinite being, but we can have “relative knowledge” of an “absolute Being”—that is, knowledge that knows in part something true about an infinite being.6
