Scripture's eloquence

[Bible | Link | Print]

De Lubac cites this passage near the beginning of his Medieval Exegesis: "The eloquence of Sacred Scripture takes many shapes, and its meanings are many and varied. For this reason someone has said: He compares things that are celestial with things that are earthly, so that likenesses that we find well-known and familiar may provide a field of play for the things that incomprehensible greatness veils from our understanding."
