John Ames: “There is no justice in love, no proportion in it, and there need not be, because in any specific instance it is only a glimpse or parable of an embracing, incomprehensible reality. It makes no sense at all because it is the eternal breaking in on the temporal. So how could it subordinate itself to cause or consequence?”

On Proofs for God

Marilynne Robinson, yes from Gilead again, has a great discourse on epistemology and the limits of our knowing. This is outside of faith and a discussion of reason from the path Descartes helped place us on. You should read this quote in context but that’s not possible here. It’s from pages 178-79 in the paperback.

“So my advice is this - don’t look for proofs. Don’t bother with them at all. They are never sufficient to the question, and they’re always a little impertinent, I think, because they claim for God a place within our conceptual grasp. And they will likely sound wrong to you even if you convince someone else with them. That is very unsettling over the long term.”

“

Memory as a Grace

“Well, but again, this life has its own mortal loveliness. And memory is not strictly mortal in its nature, either. It is a strange thing, after all, to be able to return to a moment, when it can hardly be said to have any reality at all, even in its passing. A moment is such a slight thing, I mean, that it’s abiding is a most gracious reprieve.”

”

- Marilynne Robinson in Gilead

Ahlquist on Chesterton on blasphemy from Heretics: Blasphemy is based on belief. The blasphemer cannot achieve any artistic unless he is at heart a believer. “If anyone doubts this,” says Chesterton, “let him sit down seriously and try to think blasphemous thoughts about Thor.”
