"I do not seek to understand that I may believe, but I believe in order to understand. For this I believe - that unless I believe, I should not understand."
- Anselm of Canterbury's, Proslogion
"Jesus," when he said he was the way, the truth, and the life, "moves truth from impersonal to personal. He moved it from rational to relational. He was telling his disciples the truth isn't an answer; it is a person."
- Erwin McManus
"I not only pursue truth but truth pursues me. I not only grasp truth but truth grasps me. I not only know truth but truth knows me. Ultimately, I do not master truth but truth masters me. Here, the one-way movement of objectivism, in which the active knower tracks down the inert object of knowledge, becomes the two-way movement of persons in search of each other. Here, we know even as we are known. To speak this way about knowing is not “merely poetic” (as if poetry could ever be mere!) Images such as these are faithful to our moments of deep knowing."
