Fides Quaerens Intellectum

As faith seeks understanding it does so in such a way as to negate extemporaneous factors of quasi-intellectual exploits. The karmatic1 influence of preexisting existential ideals leads us into the depths of presuppositionless exegetical methodology whereby we determine our faith in and through the kerygmatic Christ event. Therefore, faith seeks understanding not due to any sense of necessity but rather because understanding is the snipe of theological inquiry that faith must hunt.

1 Karmatic from the Hindi "kárma" (kar = vehicle + ma = mother), meaning: a maternal means of transportation by which one is driven through the eternal reality of life's existence.
