==Modern theology== One of the more recent works in theology is ''Fools for Christ''<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=qwtjGQAACAAJ |title=Fools for Christ - Jaroslav Pelikan - Google Boeken |access-date=2014-03-19|isbn=9781579108021 |last1=Pelikan |first1=Jaroslav |date=2001-11-07 |publisher=Wipf and Stock Publishers }}</ref> by [[Jaroslav Pelikan]]. Through six essays dealing with various "fools," Pelikan explores the motif of fool-for-Christ in relationship to the problem of understanding the numinous: <blockquote> The Holy is too great and too terrible when encountered directly for men of normal sanity to be able to contemplate it comfortably. Only those who cannot care for the consequences run the risk of the direct confrontation of the Holy. </blockquote>
