DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

A.W. Tozer explores the vastness of divine revelation, emphasizing that
God has provided a limitless world of truth for believers to inhabit
spiritually and intellectually. He illustrates that this universe of
truth is as essential to the soul as air is to a bird, allowing
Christians to thrive in their faith. Tozer asserts that while orthodoxy
is crucial, it should not confine the mind; believers can embrace
Christian truths without sacrificing their intellectual freedom. He
encourages a balance between adhering to the Christian creed and
allowing one's imagination to explore the wonders of nature and grace.

God has given us a broad world of truth for our spiritual and
intellectual habitation. This universe of truth is to the human soul as
limitless as the air to a bird or the sea to a fish. There the Christian
mind can luxuriate at perfect liberty. While the ages unfold the
believer will need no more than has been already given, for it
represents the broad and manifold will of God, the happy home of saints
and angels.

This vast sea of truth is expressed in nature, in the Holy Scriptures
and in Christ, the Wisdom of God incarnate. Its rational phase can be
reduced to a creed which may be learned as one would learn any other
truth, and which when so learned constitutes Christian orthodoxy, best
and most perfectly embodied in the beliefs of modern evangelical
Christianity.

But we must also remember that orthodoxy is not synonymous with
Procrustean uniformity. We may bring every thought into accord with
divine revelation without sacrificing our intellectual freedom. We can
be orthodox without becoming mentally stultified. We can believe every
tenet of the Christian creed and still leave our imagination free to
roam at will through the broad worlds of nature and grace. We are free
but not ?freethinkers.?
