From time to time, I will post quotations that catch my fancy. Good quotations have a way of bringing things into focus, of casting things into a new light, of opening up new possibilities of understanding. Over time, I may diversify the categories, but for now, I will place them all in this one. I’ll begin with a favorite from Jonathan Edwards:
I expect by very ridicule and contempt to be called a man of a very fruitful brain and copious fancy, but they are welcome to it. I am not ashamed to own that I believe that the whole universe, heaven and earth, air and seas, and the divine constitution and history of the holy Scriptures, be full of images of divine things, as full as a language is of words; and that the multitudes of those things that I have mentioned are but a very small part of what is really intended to be signified and typified by these things.
–Jonathan Edwards, Works vol. 11 (p. 152)
