Chatting with Dr. Little

I love having His Royal Brilliance's office right outside my door. Coming soon: The "Real" Dr. Little. Preview? I'll give you a hint...he comes in every morning singing, "I wish I were an Oscar Mayer Wiener." I promise. Not sure if thats an ontological or epistemological statement.

On one of those quiet(er) days, Dr. Little and I started talking philosophy, general revelation, definition of faith, etc. Here is something he said that I thought was very well-put:

Revelation makes God known
Reason makes revelation knowable
Faith makes it applicable

Philosophy 101: Faith is not a leap, it is ascent and trust to a proposition about something.

Take that, Kierkegaard!
