Dio rivolge più di 350 domande attraverso la Scrittura. Ancora più elevato è il numero delle domande che gli esseri umani rivolgono a Dio e a Gesù. Il nostro quotidiano porre delle domande a Dio è un tentativo di dare delle risposte al mistero che invece è una realtà semplicemente troppo profonda per essere governata da noi.

Dio pone le domande in modo da aprire nuove dimensioni di comprensione o evocare nuove intuizioni.
