Faith Truly Begins ...

Hans Joachim Iwand 
“Our faith begins at the point where an atheist supposes that it must be at an end. Our faith begins with the bleakness and power which is the night of the Cross, abandonment, temptation and doubt about everything that exists! Our faith must be born where it is abandoned by all tangible reality; it must be born of nothingness, it must taste this nothingness and be given it to taste in a way that no philosophy of nihilism can imagine.”
From: The Crucified God, by Jűrgen Moltmann
Quoted in Wrestling with God, R. Rolheiser
