Patristic Quote for the Day

Another goodie posted to O-L Discussion list by Pr. Webber from his favorite, St. Ambrose:

"On consideration...of the reason wherefore men have so far gone astray, or that many - alas! - should follow diverse ways of belief concerning the Son of God, the marvel seems to be, not at all that human knowledge has been baffled in dealing with superhuman things, but that it has not submitted to the authority of the Scriptures." ("Of the Christian Faith," IV:1, Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, Second Series, Vol. X, p. 262)
