-32-Cf. "Scripture alone . . . is not yet the full
measure of revelation, although it does give knowledge of
it." Rahner, Kerygma and Dogma. p. 15; or "Although it is
right that the Church could get along without the Scriptures
by relying only on her infallible teaching office, this
still cannot exclude the fact that God has granted her
inspired books, as it were, as an additional (though, in
themselves, not necessary) help for the better performance
of her proper function. As the spirit of God guides and
enlightens her teaching, so it is said, it need not be
feared that it would ever violate the Bible. It would
always understand the Scriptures in the very sense in which
they were written." Inspiration in the Bible. Translated
by Charles H. Henkey. (Edinburgh: Nelson, 1961), p. 33.

"Cf. "God is the most important reality there is,
that we exist to love him in a self-forgetting way, to adore
him, to exist for him, to leap out of our own domain of
existence into the abyss of the incomprehensibility of God."
