"A transcendent deity will speak what man cannot understand, and man is forced just to obey. A pantheistic deity will never speak to man, but will leave all to human thinking. However, in the case of the umgreifend deity He and man are enabled to talk with each other. The umgreifend deity, appealing to human wisdom, will try to win persuasion. But after all He both negates and transcends human wisdom, and discloses His true intention in a way that man cannot perceive."
