The transcendence which brings a person back to himself . . . means the sublimity of God, the immeasurability of his wisdom and the fathomless complexity of his creative Spirit. The fear of God links reverence before the majesty of the 'ever greater God' with a childlike basic trust in his immeasurable goodness, and curiosity about his creative activity in the history of the cosmos, the history of life, and in personal history.
