Redemption Requires Truth and Means to Receive

"One finds basically the same point [of noting the corruption of the depravity of the mind by sin] in Kierkegaard's Philosophical Fragments: To come to know the truth, the learner (disciple) must receive from the Teacher (God) not only the content of the truth but also the very condition for receiving it."

James K.A. Smith, Introducing Radical Orthodoxy, p. 165-66
