Abstract

Whoever wants to talk about God should first reflect on the human instruments to conceptualize such an immense (it can't be object!), over-defined and totally unknown "object". We are in a position like a craftsman preparing to make a sculpture or paint a picture. He (or she) has to check the means of working to get a good result.
In the same way we have to evaluate our means to speak about God. From time immemorial homo sapiens (and, who knows, his antecedents) experienced divine forces both frightening and benevolent, but almost always inscrutable.
