That truth, he adds im-mediately, consists in the knowledge that 'God is one, and one also is the mediator between God and men, the man Jesus who gave himself as a ransom for all.'

He has brought God! He has brought the God who once gradually unveiled his countenance first to Abraham, then to Moses and the prophets, and then in the wisdom literature–the God who showed his face only in Israel, even though he was also honored among the pagans in various shadowy guises. It is this God, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, the true God, whom he has brought to the peoples of the earth.
He has brought God, and now we know his face, now we can call upon him. Now we know the path that we human beings have to take in this world. Jesus has brought God and with God the truth about where we are going and where we come from: faith, hope, and love.”.; May 2007. ISBN: 346. Read online, or download in secure ePub format.
