Background on Gregory of Nazianzus
In his own words on Judges
- Judges 13:22
And are you not amazed at Manoah the Judge of yore... the one being unable to endure the sight even of one in whom was a representation of God; and saying, "We are undone, O wife, we have seen God;" speaking as though even a vision of God could not be grasped by human beings, let alone the Nature of God.
