Description
Summary:The article presents a sermon for July 28, 2013 based on the Book of Hosea Chapter 1, verses 1-10 and the Gospel of Saint Luke chapter 11, verses 1-13. It talks about the difficulty of describing what God is like and how the Bible often hesitates when it comes to that question, which, according to the article, is an expression of humility before God. It says that the Bible instead uses myth, poetry and parables to express that humility since it does not pretend to exhaust divine reality.
