For Thanksgiving, I produced a short radio feature for Prime Time America on the Pastor to the Pilgrims, John Robinson.  My wife is a descendent of Robinson, and we're enjoying learning all we can about him.

Dr. Marshall Foster was my guest and he introduced me to a publication of the complete written works of John Robinson entitled: The Works of John Robinson, Pastor of the Pilgrim Fathers.  Published by John Snow, London, 1851. 

Over the next few months, as Pamela and I read through these works, I hope to post some of the personally challenging or meaningful quotes that we find.  Here is the first from Robinson's essay entitled: "Of Man's Knowledge of God."

"Some ambitious and curious wits, but not able, and no marvel, to raise up, and advance thier notions of God's infiniteness, for the comprehending of it, have laboured to depress, and pull him down to their dwarfish conceptions of him; and have, indeed, rather made him some great giant-like man, or angel, than he is in truth, an infinite God; allowing him an essence, power, and wisdom hugely great, but not properly infinite and immensel as though God could not be that, which they cannot conceive of him" (Vol.1, pg.2).
