Knowing God

I'm finally reading a book I've always wanted to read. That book is J.I. Packer's Knowing God. I'm reading for my Theology I class and it has already proven in the first several pages why it is a modern classic. Today, I found this warning especially helpful:

If we pursue theological knowledge for its own sake, it is bound to go bad on us. It will make us proud and conceited. The very greatness of the subject matter will intoxicate us, and we shall come to think of our interest in it and grasp of it; and we shall look down on those whose theological ideas seem to us crude and inadequate and dismiss them as very poor specimens.

May we all take heed.
