Theologians are after divine truth and not mere human opinions. There is a danger and a difficulty about this point. We are in danger of modern disregard of theology. . . . The danger nowadays is overemphasis on non-intellectual elements. This means a kind of treachery to the truth. It used to be assumed that man is a reasonable animal. The modern idea seems to be that man is first and foremost a creature with a heart. I am not prepared, however, to give up my reason in connection with the things of God.
Father Georges Florovsky
Remarks made at the Second World Conference on Faith and Order
Edinburgh, August 4, 1937
Is Father Florovsky correct in his perception? I tend to think so….
