Authentisch glauben

To have faith does not mean, however, to dwell in the shadow of old ideas conceived by prophets and sages, to live off an inherited estate of doctrines and dogmas. In the realm of faith only he who is a pioneer is able to be an heir. The wages of spiritual plagiarism is the loss of integrity; self-aggrandizement is self-betrayal.

Authentic faith is more than an echo of tradition. It is a creative situation, an event. For God is not always silent, and man is not always blind.

Abraham Heschel
