"Men have come to speak of revelation as long ago given and done, as if God were dead....It is the office of a true teacher to show us that God is, not was, that He speaketh, not spake....The need was never greater of new revelation than now."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
(from an address delivered in the Divinity College at Cambridge University, 15 July 1838)
I've always loved that Emerson quote.
