“To ‘prove’ is to demonstrate something to be the rational reality it is. Can one demonstrate that to be a rational reality which is at variance with reason? Surely not, unless one would contradict oneself. One can ‘prove’ only that it is at variance with reason. The proofs which Scripture presents for Christ’s divinity — His miracles, His Resurrection from the dead, His Ascension into heaven — are therefore only for faith, that is, they are not ‘proofs,’ they have no intention of proving that all this agrees perfectly with reason; on the contrary they would prove that it conflicts with reason and therefore is an object of faith.”
