God in Our Hands Quotes

“The knowledge of God is a consciousness of ignorance. It does not yield a clearly defined sense of self with which we can rest content, and say I am such and such a person. After every partial act of self-definition, attention to God reminds us of what remains unsaid. For this reason the work of religion is never done. The task of self-knowledge is never complete, just because what we call self-knowledge is in reality self-definition. While we live the self has continually to be defined anew.”
― Graham Shaw, God in Our Hands
