Cheers for posting that Speed... a lot in there I've never picked up on. (though have only read a couple of his works so far)

Found this paragraph particularly striking, much as I can't quite grasp how 'truth' is self denying...

"It is a frenzied perfectionism of the intellect that “forbids itself the lie involved in belief in God.” Saying no to dogma in obedience to pure reason still involves saying yes to the logic of self-denying service to the truth."
