Not quite ; He *knew* God personally ; but he also
knew that other people generally don't, and asks them
to simply have faith in the Gospels (and in Greek
philosophy).

Anyway, back to Glorantha ;

I think that Western Heroquesting is probably a
Hollywood special effects version of having a Crisis
in Faith - anyone seen 'Dogma' ? ;-)
