Religion


Religion is not "an universal outlook (Anschauung) ", (of Spinoza) but rather a grasp (Auffaßung) on life--a grasp on life as coming from the hand of God. Religion is the inner solution to the discrepancy between ideas and reality.

Ferdinand Ebner, Wort und Lieb, Regensburg: Pustet, 1935, 130.
