Athanasius's breathtaking theological conclusions are not predicated on explicit verses of Scripture; nevertheless, once those conclusions had been articulated, other theologians agreed that they captured what Scripture read holistically implies better than any other suggestions. In other words, they accurately reflect what the Bible seems to be indicating. This tells us that sanctified and biblically informed reason can objectively progress theological understanding by making affirmations on the basis of what is revealed yet can go beyond what Scripture actually says.
