Ep.37 - The BOSS - Pt.1: Incomprehensibility - can we know God?

from Theology for the Curious · host Pete Goulding

Click here to text us your thoughts and questions!This week marks the first episode of a brand new series THE BOSS; the incomprehensibility of God! Athanasius spoke of  God as one who, “transcends all being and human comprehension”. That being so, how could anyone hope to understand GOD? Isaiah declared, “Canst thou by searching find out God?” (Job 11KJV). Furthermore, Paul refers to God as the one "no one has ever seen nor can see". Seeing as Scripture captures God as one who has no equal and cannot be compared with anything or anyone known to us, the question arises, ‘how could any individual know God?’In this opening episode the Curious team look at how we might come to understand God. What philosophy has sought to answer, and how theology unwraps something of a possibility of finite beings knowing an infinite God!
