There is something you may imagine, if you would see God; God is love. What sort of face has love? what form has it? what stature? what feet? what hands has it? no man can say. And yet it has feet, for these carry men to church: it has hands; for these reach forth to the poor: it has eyes; for thereby we consider the needy.

—Augustine, Homilies 7.10 in Miroslav Volf, Captive to the Word of God: Engaging the Scriptures for Contemporary Theological Reflection, 149.
