Profession of Faith›SECTION ONE "I BELIEVE" - "WE BELIEVE"›CHAPTER ONE MAN'S CAPACITY FOR GOD›IV. How Can We Speak about God?
God transcends all creatures. We must therefore continually purify our language of everything in it that is limited, imagebound or imperfect, if we are not to confuse our image of God --"the inexpressible, the incomprehensible, the invisible, the ungraspable"-- with our human representations. Our human words always fall short of the mystery of God.
