Quote of the Week: Berkof

For us the existence of God is the great presupposition of theology. . .The assumption is not merely that there is something, some idea or ideal, some power or purposeful tendency, to which the name of God may be applied, but that there is a self-existent, self-conscious, personal Being, which is the origin of all things, and which transcends the entire creation, but is at the same time immanent in every part of it.

Louis Berkof, Systematic Theology, The Doctrine of God, pg.20

That is a great quote to keep in mind as so many people these days attempt to prove the Almighty's existence ... or at least make it "reasonable." (I'm thinking Keller here, among others).
