I never knew my own
father...Personal deprivations…can easily distort our understanding of the
Christian gospel by making it say what we want to hear, rather than what God is
really saying…It is where we are most thirsty that we shall be most likely to drink,
but also perhaps to be least discriminating about what we drink. One of the functions of theology is to help
us test the quality of the water, to distinguish what is brackish from what is
living…
