Nothing is further from scholastic theology than the Gospel.[1] The speculations of the Greek fathers on the Divine essence proceed from an entirely different spirit.

God, conceived simply as Father, was all the theology of Jesus.

And this was not with him a theoretical principle, a doctrine more or less proved, which he sought to inculcate in others.

He did not argue with his disciples;[2] he demanded from them no effort of attention.

He did not preach his opinions; he preached himself.
