One of the things the dawn of post-modernism is teaching us in the church is that truth is slippery; that although God has most certainly made himself known to us, He has not placed Himself in a neat, gift-wrapped box that we can take home and open on Christmas day. This is most certainly
not what the incarnation is about. Remember Jesus only ever answered 2 direct questions in his time on earth.
This is not to say that there are no absolutes. This part of post-modernism cannot and should not be swallowed whole, but we do need to distance ourselves from the belief that complete knowledge of God is attainable instantaneously or at all. We won't get that kind of knowledge this side of the resurrection of all things. God is mysterious, He is bigger than any mind could contain. If you think you've got Him down then you've already missed Him. If there aren't any unanswered questions in your life then you don't have enough faith.
If truth can be read off the tin, as it were, I would suggest we are not discovering God but merely the projection we are most comfortable with. This is a challenge to the 'enlightened' and mainstream protestant tradition that I come from.
