Notes from Wikiquote

Notation — de Trinitate 200-258 "God sometimes had prophets use symbolic language that was fitted to the [Israelite's] state of belief and that reflects God not as God actually is, but as the people were able to understand. God, therefore, is not mediocre, but the people's understanding is mediocre; God is not limited, but the intellectual capacity of the people's mind is limited."
