Say that again...

Because this Word is always God’s own, it is transcendent; but because it is God’s Word, it makes itself known. Because God makes God’s self known in God’s Word, human beings can hear that Word and know God through that Word. The Word is revelation of God inasmuch as it is God’s Word; and inasmuch as God’s Word is God’s, it is revelation of God to humanity.— Bonhoeffer as quoted in Bonhoeffer the Assassin?, page 133
