Tucked away in C K Barrett's wee book on Paul is a gem of theological precision born of intellectual humility. As a description of the proper disposition of the true theologian it's as good as I know:
"Faith is not a collection of theological propositions but a readiness to let God be the God he means to be and to give him thanks for being the kind of God he is."
(C K Barrett, Paul. An Introduction to his Thought (London: Chapman, 1994) 97.
