Bartholomew's Saying

Οὕτω γοῦν ὁ θεῖος Βαρθολομαῖός φησι, καὶ πολλὴν τὴν θεολογίαν εἶναι καὶ ἐλαχίστην· καὶ τὸ Εὐαγγέλιον πλατὺ καὶ μέγα, και αὖθις συντετμημένον.

Διονύσιος ὁ Ἀρεοπαγίτης, Περὶ Μυστικῆς Θεολογίας, Κεφάλαιον Α'

Source: Migne PG 3.999b
The blessed Bartholomew says that theology is both vast and small, and that the Gospel is great and broad, and again concise.
