Quote of the Day (Hans Kung, on God Made Present in History)

“God is the living God, always the selfsame, dynamically actual and continually active in history. Precisely as the eternally perfect, he is free to seize the ‘possibility’ of becoming historical. ‘Possibility’ therefore does not mean unfulfilledness, potentiality, but powerfulness, superabundance, omni-potence. God is thus the eternal, who founds, sustains and completes history, the historical primal reason and primal meaning of the whole reality of world and man.”—Hans Kung, Does God Exist? An Answer for Today, 1980
